Hasan Ali Strikes Early: Kohli departs cheaply in India-Pakistan World Cup 2023 game

Highlights

In a crucial moment during the India vs Pakistan match, Hasan Ali, the Pakistani pacer, showcased his prowess once again. A precision delivery, just short of a length and outside off stump, led to Virat Kohli’s undoing.

In a moment of ill-advised aggression, Kohli attempted a cross-batted shot on the slowish pitch, resulting in a complete mis-hit. The ball soared into the hands of Nawaz at mid-on, an easy catch that silenced the crowd as Kohli walked back to the pavilion, scoring 16 off 18 balls (including 3 boundaries). Although Kohli’s departure brought a hush over the stadium, Rohit Sharma’s steady start provided assurance, ensuring that this setback wasn’t a massive blow for the Indian team at the moment.
