Sohail Khan, who calls himself Kohli’s father in cricket, while boasting and patting himself shamelessly on the back, has forgotten that there are statistics in cricket. The statistics reveal the player’s reality of how much water he was or is in. If it is said in the words of Sohail Khan, then it also tells who is whose father. Sohail Khan probably forgot this. Virat Kohli does not need to answer for the kind of misbehavior he did to gain cheap popularity. As Irfan Pathan said this man is attention hungry, but after all this Pakistanis with nefarious intentions like Sohail have to at least be told their status in the game.
On Kohli’s comment, I also said that son, when you were playing under-19, your father was a Test player. After this, at the other end, Dhoni explained to Kohli that this is old rice, don’t fight with it, so he became calm.
Sohail Khan, Pakistani pacer
First of all, we will talk before the World Cup 2015 match between India and Pakistan in Australia. Will try to understand where was Kohli during the alleged dispute with Sohail, who called himself old rice?
Virat Kohli’s record before the controversial match with Sohail Khan

Test | 33 | 2547 | 169 | 46.30 | 10 |
ODI | 150 | 6232 | 183 | 51.50 | 21 |

As you can see in the figures. Virat Kohli had not only played 150 matches in ODIs by that time, but had also scored 21 centuries, one more than Saeed Anwar, who holds the record for most hundreds for Pakistan. Anwar has scored 20 centuries in 247 ODIs. On the other hand, Virat Kohli had become the captain in Tests. On the other hand, Sohail Khan’s entire ODI career was completed in just 13 matches.
Overall career of Virat Kohli
format | match | Run | best score | average | century |
Test | 104 | 8119 | 254* | 48.90 | 27 |
ODI | 271 | 12809 | 183 | 57.69 | 46 |
T20Is | 115 | 4008 | 122* | 52.73 | 1 |
Virat Kohli is called the king of cricket today. He holds all the world records of cricket in his name, which no Pakistani player has the courage to even dream of, because he knows that it is impossible for him to make as many records as Kohli. Pakistan’s top batsman is also afraid to compare himself with Virat.
Where does the bigoted Sohail Khan stay?
Only cricket career has been analyzed above. Here’s a look at Kohli’s cricketing career before the controversial match and till now. But it is also important to know that where does Sohail Khan, who is bragging to gain cheap popularity while sitting in Pakistan standing on the path of pauper, stay? So if we test cricket statistics, then Sohail Khan will be watered with shame. Sohail did not play in his entire cricket career as many matches as Kohli plays for India in a season.
This (Sohle Khan) needs attention, ignore it.
Irfan Pathan, Indian cricketer
Sohail Khan will die of shame after seeing his record!
If Sohail is made to sit in front of him and listen to his records, if shown to him, he will cry. Will drown in shame. Sohail got a chance to play only 9 Tests for Pakistan. Or just say that Pakistan, a country with a handful of population compared to India, where there is a very weak fight to make a place in the national team as compared to India, was considered eligible for only so many matches. During this, Sohail took 27 wickets, while his ODI career ended in 13 matches only. He has 19 wickets in this, while he has 5 wickets in 5 matches in T20 International.
Kohli showed his worth even in the controversial match, scored a century
Now let’s talk about the match in which the entire brawl allegedly took place. The match was played on 15 February 2015 at Adelaide’s ground. In this match of the World Cup, while batting first, India scored 300 runs at the loss of 7 wickets. Kohli, who is called the run machine, also scored a century in this match. He scored an inning of 107 runs in 126 balls with the help of 8 fours. In reply, the Pakistan team was bundled out for 224 runs. That is, India was victorious by 76 runs. The Pakistan team had heroes like Yunus Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi. Sohail himself took 5 wickets, but even then Pakistan was not destined to win. On the way, one thing and something similar happened between Virender Sehwag and Shoaib Akhtar and he termed the great Sachin as the father of Shoaib Akhtar, which if needed, Sohail Khan would test Sachin-Shoaib and himself with Virat Kohli. But tighten Take the opinion of experts.. They will know who is the real father…!
