During the joint practice session of India and Pakistan, ahead of their blockbuster clash in the Asia Cup 2023, Virat Kohli was spotted embracing Haris Rauf at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. While these two cricketers were all smiles on September 1 Friday, they will be going toe-to-toe against each other tomorrow, during the Group A match in Kandy, to achieve a big win for their country.
When we talk about Virat Kohli and Haris Rauf in one sentence, their epic battle at the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium, comes to mind straight away. On that great day for cricket, the former Indian captain stroked two of the most important sixes in his career against the Pakistan fast bowler, to bring his team back into the match from a near-impossible situation, before guiding India to a famous victory.
