The former Australian wrist spinner has been a big admirer of Kohli and said that the six that he hit off Haris Rauf against Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup was the best cricket shot that he has seen in his life. Kohli scored a magnificent unbeaten 82 to help them pull off a heist at Melbourne. Hogg also said that come the 2023 World Cup he expects Kohli to be in red-hot form.

Virat Kohli will be a big danger for opposition teams in the 2023 World Cup -Brad Hogg

“Hitting Haris Rauf back over his head off a good length, that was the best shot that I have ever seen in cricket. It was brilliant. Yeah, he was just awesome. He was switched on. But I think fans out there have got to realize too that there’s a lot of pressure on Virat Kohli. Hogg was quoted as saying from India.com. India won the game by 4 wickets in a nail-biting thriller.

He’s going to have those ups and downs When he’s got that right frame of mind, he’s had the pressure off him, he’s been able to relax and come back, you see the dominant Virat Kohli, and I think we’re gonna see a brilliant Virat Kohli on home soil in a World Cup. He wants it, and that’s a big danger for opposition teams” Hogg added.

The Asia Cup will be played in the ODI format and will serve as the perfect pre-cursor for the World Cup. The continental tournament will be co-hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The first game will be held at Multan which will involve Nepal and Pakistan on August 30. The tournament will run till September 17.
