Babar has played the only T20 International against India so far. During the T20 World Cup played last year, Babar scored 68* in 52 balls while chasing the target against the Indian team. Meanwhile, he also hit six fours and two sixes as part of his inning and guided his team to 10 wickets victory.
Kohli has played seven T20 Internationals against Pakistan so far, scoring 311 runs at an average of 77.75 and a strike rate of 118. Meanwhile, he has also scored three half-centuries in those games. Even though Kohli’s recent form has been disappointing, one can expect great innings from him this Asia Cup 2022.
