The Asia Cup 2023 will feature a tight race between India and Pakistan. They’ll be squaring off on September 2 in Kandy, and they might also do battle in the tournament’s Super 4s and championship game.

Virat Kohli has always been India’s go-to player for the match against Pakistan. He has repeatedly led his team to victory in games where the majority of players have buckled under duress because he has stood tall and remained composed.
When the two Asian Titans square off, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli again, and it’s safe to say that he will once again be the key for his team because he has repeatedly shown that when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
