<p><strong>IND vs PAK:</strong> Shadab Khan, a Pakistani all-rounder, poked light at BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar for allegedly making remarks on how Indian run machine Virat Kohli would handle Pakistan's fearsome fast bowling unit. On September 2 in Pallekele, India's Men in Blue will kick off their campaign for the Asia Cup 2023 against their bitter rivals. Everyone has been eagerly anticipating Virat Kohli's matchup with Pakistan's potent bowling arsenal.</p>



<p>The heat of the IND vs PAK high-voltage encounter during the Asia Cup 2023 is building, and cricket fans are excited to see how India's ace batter Virat Kohli will respond to the Pakistani bowling assault. Ajit Agarkar, the head of selection, was falsely quoted a few days ago as saying, "Virat Kohli will handle them," in response to a question on how Indian hitters will handle Pakistani pacers.</p>



<p>However, Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was questioned about managing the acclaimed speed attack of Pakistan when the Indian selection for the Asia Cup was revealed. It is being claimed that in response, Agarkar said, "Virat Kohli will handle them." Shadab Khan, a Pakistani all-rounder, has replied to Agarkar's assertion by saying that only one's actions on the field matter and not what is said prior to or during a game while being unaware that the comment was fake.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>IND vs PAK: "Bolne Se Kuch Nahi Hota" Said, Shadab Khan</strong></h2>



<p>When it comes to the IND vs PAK in T20I World Cup in 2022, Kohli deserves special recognition for leading India to victory against Pakistan. The legendary batsman almost single-handedly carried the team to victory. While supporters anticipate more of the same from Kohli in the forthcoming Asia Cup, Shadab believes one won't truly know what happens until the day itself.</p>



<p>He said, <strong><em>"Dekhiye, ye depend karta hai on a day. Main ya koi aur, ya unki taraf se koi aisa bol de, to bolne se kuch nahi hota, kuch change nahi hota. Jab match hoga, match mein jo cheejein nazar ayengi, asal cheez vahi hoti hai</em>".</strong></p>



<p><strong>"See, it all depends on what happens that day. Me or someone else, or someone from their side, can say whatever they want. It doesn't make any difference. When the match takes place, then only we'll get to know what is the reality."</strong></p>

<p>Since 2019, India's Virat Kohli has only played against Pakistan in T20I games. Against pacers like Naseem Shah, Shaheen, Rauf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Hasnain, and Shahnawaz Dahani, Kohli made 158 runs in 110 balls. Kohli has only been removed once, by Shaheen after getting a fifty in the 2021 T20 World Cup.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>IND Vs PAK Asia Cup 2023: Historical Triumphs in World Cups and Asia Cups:</strong></h2>



<p>One of the crucial elements that can infuse confidence in Team India is their remarkable track record against Pakistan in World Cup and Asia Cup encounters. Here are some notable instances:</p>

<ol>
<li><strong>ICC Cricket World Cup 2019:</strong> In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, India emerged victorious against Pakistan at the iconic Old Trafford stadium in Manchester. Rohit Sharma's sublime century and a disciplined bowling performance paved the way for India's convincing win by 89 runs (DLS method).</li>



<li><strong>Asia Cup 2018:</strong> During the Asia Cup 2018, India secured a memorable last-over win against Pakistan. Batting first, Shikhar Dhawan's century powered India to a competitive total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's stellar bowling and a spirited team effort restricted Pakistan's chase, leading India to victory by 9 runs.</li>

<p><strong>Weather as the X-Factor:</strong> Given the unpredictable weather forecast, India must prepare for rain interruptions or reduced overs. The team should devise strategies for both batting and bowling under potential weather-induced constraints.</p>



<p><strong>Harnessing the Batting Powerplay:</strong> Rohit Sharma and the opening batsmen should seize the opportunity to exploit the batting powerplay. Building a solid foundation early in the innings can put pressure on Pakistan and set a competitive target.</p>



<p><strong>Middle Order Resilience:</strong> Virat Kohli's ability to anchor the innings and accelerate at the right moment will be pivotal. The middle order must remain prepared to absorb pressure and accelerate, even after rain breaks.</p>



<p><strong>Bowling Precision:</strong> The bowlers, especially pacers like Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, should focus on exploiting any moisture in the pitch due to rain. Varied deliveries and consistent line and length will trouble the Pakistani batsmen.</p>



<p><strong>Fielding Brilliance:</strong> Rain-interrupted matches can hinge on fielding brilliance. India's fielders need to be alert, capitalizing on run-out opportunities, catching chances, and effecting tight throws to build pressure on the opposition.</p>



<p><strong>Captain's Leadership:</strong> Rohit Sharma's captaincy will be paramount. His decisions on whether to bat or bowl first, as well as field placements and bowling changes, will dictate the match's course.</p>
