New Delhi. The match of Asia Cup 2023 is approaching which everyone has been waiting for a long time. The mega match of the tournament will be played between the teams of India and Pakistan on September 2. Both the teams are busy strengthening their preparations before this match. Pakistan got off to a great start by winning the first match of the Asia Cup against Nepal by 238 runs. A confident team will want to give India a tough challenge.
Former Indian captain Virat Kohli feels that you have to be at your best to face a very good bowling attack like Pakistan. India have won their last three ODIs against Pakistan but the last match was played during the 2019 World Cup.
Kohli told ‘Star Sports’, “I think bowling is his strong point. And they have impressive bowlers who can change the course of the match anytime based on their skills. So you have to do your best to face them.
Kohli has been in good form in the One Day International format for some time now. He has scored 554 runs in 13 matches in this format since December last year but averaged 50.36 during this period. Talking about his approach in recent times, Kohli said, “I just try to understand how I can improve my game. Every day, every practice session, every year, every season, that’s what has helped me play and perform well for the team for a long time.
“I don’t think you can consistently perform without this mindset because if your performance is your only goal, you can become complacent and stop working hard,” he said.
