India and Pakistan are playing against each other in the much-anticipated encounter of the Asia Cup 2022. Both teams are playing first time since the last clash in the T20 World Cup 2021. In that match, Pakistan defeated the Indians by a massive margin of 10 wickets. The Indian team is currently chasing the target of 148 runs posted by the Pakistani team.
Former Indian skipper and senior batter Virat Kohli has produced a fine knock for the team as he scored 35 runs off 34 balls with three boundaries and a six to his name. Apart from his batting, Kohli has made it to the headlines of social media for another reason.
Virat Kohli played a shot that went on to hit the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma who was there on the non-strike end. The video of this incident went viral over social media as it was something that nobody has expected.
