Any India vs Pakistan conflict is a carefully watched affair. It’s a match the place reputations are made and destroyed. Virat Kohli is a participant who has seen many India vs Pakistan contests, typically dominating the arch-rivals. However, throughout Pakistan’s Tour of India in 2012-13, Virat Kohli was dismissed thrice by the identical bowler. That bowler was Pakistan left-arm pacer Junaid Khan. The veteran has recalled he warned the Indian cricket workforce earlier than dismissing him.

Junaid Khan received Virat Kohli out thrice within the ODI sequence that Pakistan received 2-1. He dismissed the Virat Kohli for 0 and 6 within the first two ODIs at Chennai and Kolkata. He then scalped Kohli for 7 within the ultimate sport too in Delhi.

“I have taken wickets of so many batsmen but people always remember Virat Kohli’s wicket. We have played in the U-19 World Cup, we knew each other. It was my comeback series and I was playing against India for the first time. I got Kohli in the first match and he told me it will not happen again,” stated Junaid on Nadir Ali’s YouTube channel.

“I got him again in the second and third match. Before the third ODI at the breakfast table, I told him, ‘Virat you will not be spared today. Younis Khan was also there. He said get him out again today. Younis bhai took Virat’s catch.

Virat Kohli is still among the top five batsmen in the World. Especially in the white ball the way he has made records and has recently broken Sachin Tendulkar‘s century record. He is a world-class batsman.”

Junaid Khan added that he considers Rohit Sharma a greater batter than Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

“In my opinion, Rohit Sharma is a better batsman between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Everybody calls Rohit ‘The Hitman.’ He has scored an incredible 264. He has also smashed a couple of double hundreds in the ODIs. This is rare because he has done it more than once. He has also hit the most number of sixes. That’s why I would vote for Rohit,” stated Junaid.

“Sachin batted in a different era. He would have scored more than 100 centuries in today’s time. He has played when the ball used to reverse.”

The 33-year-old Junaid Khan has so performed 22 Tests (71 wickets), 76 ODIs (110 wickets) and 9 T20Is (eight wickets). He final performed a global match for Pakistan in 2019.
