Mickey Arthur Pakistan Cricket team Coach Throws A Challenge At indian captain Virat Kohli Mickey Arthur, head coach of the Pakistan cricket team’s remark on India captain Virat Kohli’s batting has stirred a new debate in cricketing circles. Kohli has been in sensational form across formats throughout the last season. However, Arthur believes the 29-year-old will find it hard to score runs against in side in 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 teams and it is always enjoyable to watch his batting. However, our bowlers will not make it easy for him to score there,” Arthur said. Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur has hailed the prowess that is Virat Kohli while adding a little caveat to his world-beating ability. Kohli, up to 33 ODI centuries and only second to Sachin Tendulkar, has raked numerous records in his career already. No matter the opposition or the venue, if there is one player that can be counted on, it is Kohli himself. Where players get phased by run chases and tough asks, Kohli thrives on it and it is proven by the fact that 20 of his 33 centuries have come while batting second. Of the 20 centuries, 18 have resulted in an India win. Kohli’s 100 in the first ODI of the on-going six-match series meant he has now scored a ton against all nine nations that he has toured. The only nation missing from his list is Pakistan. Even as the skipper acculumates incredible records and milestones in his career, Arthur believes Kohli would not have it easy in 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 teams and it is always enjoyable to watch his batting. However, our bowlers will not make it easy for him to score there,” Arthur said.
