Abdul Qadir was a great spinner of Pakistan, on whose balls Sachin Tendulkar once hit sixes, he said that he will not forget till the grave. 2 years ago, Virat Kohli had also hit a surprising six against Pakistan’s Haris Rauf, after seeing which everyone was left in tears. That shot of Kohli started being discussed in the corridors of world cricket. It was natural for this to happen because Haris Rauf was proud of his speed. But after that shot of Kohli, his speed had become a joke in a way.

This feat of Virat, Pakistan will not forget!

You might be wondering why we are talking about Virat Kohli’s six against Haris Rauf two years ago on October 23? So that is because on that day also the date was 23rd October when Kohli had written the historic script of his matchless shot while raising a hue and cry against Rauf’s pace in the T20 World Cup.

Pakistan was proud of Haris Rauf, Virat ruined it!

The match between India and Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup played on Australian soil was in Melbourne on 23 October. Before this great match to be held at MCG, one of the largest grounds in the world, Pakistan had made a complete joke about the speed of Haris Rauf. Many cricket pundits were also of the opinion that Pakistan had the upper hand in the match. In his view, Haris Rauf’s pace is an important weapon for Pakistan to destroy the Indian batting order. But, after what happened, not only all the speculations were reversed but Haris Rauf was also seen hiding his face.

When the top order disintegrated, Virat anchored!

In the match, Pakistan batted first and scored 159 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, the Indian team, which came to chase the target of 160 runs, had a bad start. Both his openers Rohit and Rahul were out after scoring 4-4 ​​runs. With the fall of two big wickets for just 10 runs, the situation started looking slim and it seemed that Pakistan would do as it was saying. But, they say that when the matters are big, Virat Kohli stands up. The same was seen in this match also.
