Asia Cup 2022: Virat Kohli to play 100th T20I match against Pakistan with special bat
Virat Kohli is set to surpass yet another milestone in his illustrious career as he gears up to take on Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 opener on August 28, Sunday. India open their Asia Cup campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan, and the match will be a special occasion for Kohli.
The 33-year-old will feature in the 100th T20I match of his career, and since the day will be extra special for him, Kohli will get to play with a special bat that has been custom-made for him.
MRF will sponsor the special bat of ‘Gold Wizard’ quality for Kohli’s Asia Cup campaign. As per reports, the bat is made up of a unique luxurious wood willow, and you’ll be shocked to know the price of this special bat.
The bat which Virat Kohli could use against Pakistan will cost approximately INR 22,000. Pictures of the willow have been going viral on social media.
Even though the former Indian skipper will have a new weapon in his artillery, Kohli will be hoping to rediscover his golden touch of the old, having failed to sparkle since the start of 2022.
He was last seen in action against England and the talismanic batsman has since been rested for the West Indies and Zimbabwe tours.
This means Virat will directly make his comeback in the Asia Cup opener against Pakistan and fans will be hoping for a special knock from him.
For the first time since his debut, Kohli’s average has dropped below 25 across formats, which speaks volumes about his rough patch so far in 2022.
