Champions Trophy 2025, IND vs PAK: A big match means a big player, and for India, that player is Virat Kohli. The stage is set for another monumental clash. While some critics claim that Kohli is losing his edge and trying too hard to score, his numbers tell a different story.

In 27 matches, he has amassed 1170 runs at an average of 58.50. With three centuries against arch-rivals, Kohli remains one of the most dangerous batsmen against Pakistani bowling.

The positive takeaway is that Kohli recently registered a half-century against England and appeared to be in good shape during the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh. Those who doubt the abilities of an ageing star like Kohli should remember that he's targeting the 2027 World Cup in the South. His stature is so immense that merely the thought of him playing in the next World Cup has even inspired Indian captain Rohit Sharma to consider extending his career for another two years-though that may be a tall order.

The impact of King Kohli is so immense that even opponents like Pakistan remain cautious of him. They know he can rise to the occasion at any moment, and with his vast experience, he is nothing short of a marvel on the field. Not to mention, sponsors are heavily backing Kohli-they know that people absolutely adore him. His magnetic appeal is so powerful that even a Ranji Trophy game draws crowds of passionate fans.

So, let's hope for a stellar Virat Kohli performance on the big day!
