How can there be a match between India and Pakistan if there is no controversy? The history of both teams has always been rich in terms of rivalry. Something similar was seen in the sixth match of the Champions Trophy when Abrar Ahmed tried to provoke Virat Kohli and challenged him to hit sixes against him. The Pakistani spinner has now revealed this himself. The 26-year-old bowler said that he had challenged King Kohli during the match but the Indian player kept himself calm and did not respond to him. Later Kohli also praised him, which made Abrar realize his mistake.

Abrar made a big mistake by challenging Virat.
In this match played in Dubai, leg spinner Abrar Ahmed made Shubman Gill his victim. He bowled the vice-captain of Team India and celebrated in a different style, which was also criticized a lot. After this, he tried to target former captain Kohli. Talking about this subject now, Abrar Ahmed told Telecom Asia Sport - My childhood dream of bowling to Virat Kohli in Dubai has come true. It was very challenging and I teased him. I asked him to hit a six in my over but he did not get angry. We all know that Kohli is a great batsman but he is a good person. Kohli said after the match that he bowled well, which made my day.
Abrar is a fan of Virat
In this match, the 36-year-old batsman scored the 51st century of his ODI career. He completed his century in 111 balls and led the team to victory. Abrar further said that he considers Kohli as his idol. He said- I have grown up considering Kohli as my idol and used to tell the Under-19 players that one day I will bowl for him. Kohli's fitness is excellent, the way he runs between the wickets is wonderful to watch. This is what makes him a unique cricketer.

Pakistan's condition worsened.
Host Pakistan's journey in this tournament ended in just nine days. Pakistan played its first match against New Zealand. In this match, the Kiwis scored 320 runs against the hosts in which Will Young and captain Tom Latham scored centuries. In the second match, Pakistan faced India in which the team won the toss and decided to bat first. Babar Azam and Imam ul Haq also gave the team a good start, but Pakistan failed to take advantage of it. Indian bowlers stopped Pakistan at a score of 241 runs and while chasing the target, Virat Kohli took charge and achieved the target in just 43.2 overs. Although Pakistan's hopes were over after losing two matches, its chances were destroyed by New Zealand's victory over Bangladesh.
