Kohli is currently in Ahmedabad for the ODI World Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan and in his recent outings of ODI World Cup the former India skipper slammed 85 against Australia and in scored 55* against Afghanistan.
As India will take on Pakistan all the eyes will be on India’s opener Shubman Gill as the young batter missed the first twi clashes of ODI World Cup citing illness.
Gill has been a vital cog in the wheel in India’s ODI scheme of things for over a year and a half. He is the current leading run-getter in the format this year, amassing 1230 runs at an average of 72.35 and a strike rate of 105.03, including hitting two centuries and as many fifties in his last four ODI games.
