DUBAI - India skipper Virat Kohli on Saturday said they will take on a "very strong" Pakistan team in their Twenty20 World Cup opener and downplayed their unbeaten record against their opponents."We never discussed these things, about our record and past performance," Kohli told reporters on the eve of the much-anticipated clash in Dubai on Sunday.
Kohli said regardless of their past dominance Pakistan is and always has been packed with talented players."You have to play your best cricket against them, because they have lots of talent and players who can change the game." Babar, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman hold the team's batting key while quicks Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali lead a potent bowling attack.
The pace bowler did not bowl in the second leg of the Indian Premier League in the United Arab Emirates for his side Mumbai Indians."We understand the value he brings to the team as a number six batter,” said Kohli.
