Virat Kohli to become the second player to play 100 games in each format of international cricket

When he takes the field against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium, Kohli will join New Zealand’s Ross Taylor as just the second cricketer to have played 100 matches in each format of international cricket.

The former skipper featured in his 100th Test earlier this year when India played Sri Lanka in the first of two Tests at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. His 100th ODI happened to come in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, when the Men in Blue locked horns with the West Indies at The Oval in London.

Defending champions India will face Pakistan in the opening Group A clash at the Asia Cup 2022. The contest will be played in Dubai, the very venue where Babar Azam and Co. clinched their first-ever World Cup victory against the Men In Blue last year.
