Bengaluru, February 7: India skipper Virat Kohli has been in sensational form over the last few years in all formats of cricket. However, Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur said Kohli won't find it easy to score runs against Pakistan.

"Kohli is a fantastic player but our team will make it hard (for him) to score a century there (Pakistan). It has been a great pleasure to watch Kohli scoring against all teamss and it is always enjoyable to watch his batting. However, our bowlers will not make it easy for him to score there," Arthur said.

However, bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been suspended owing to political tension between the two countries.

Kohli has been in stupendous form in all three formats of the game over the last year and has bagged the ICC Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the best cricketer in 2017.

During the voting period from 21 September 2016 to end-2017, Kohli scored 2,203 Test runs at an average of 77.80 including eight centuries.

He accumulated 1,818 runs in the one-day format including seven centuries.
