United Arab Emirates (UAE) cricketer Ibrar Ahmad Dawar has received special appreciation from Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli. This happened just before the highly awaited ICC Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan in Dubai.

Ibrar shared a video on his Instagram, where Virat praised his bowling efforts during a net session. In the clip, Kohli can be heard saying, "Well bowled... he has bowled well. He has helped a lot. Thank you." The UAE cricketer was seen bowling aggressively to Kohli, challenging him with his deliveries. Kohli, known for his quick reflexes, also played a stylish flick shot during the practice session. The young UAE bowler’s intensity and skill seemed to have impressed the Indian batting star.

Ibrar is no stranger to competitive cricket. He has played for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) in the International League T20 (ILT20), where he showcased his talent with strong performances.

India vs Pakistan – A High-Pressure Game

As the excitement builds for the India-Pakistan clash, Pakistan is under pressure to keep its title hopes alive. They suffered a tough 60-run defeat against New Zealand in their opening game, making this match crucial for their survival in the tournament.

India, on the other hand, started their campaign in style with a dominant six-wicket victory over Bangladesh. However, Virat Kohli had a tough time on the tricky Dubai pitch. He struggled to get going and managed just 22 runs off 38 balls before getting out to Soumya Sarkar off leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.

Despite this slow start, Kohli is known for handling pressure, especially against Pakistan. His track record against India’s arch-rival speaks for itself. In 16 One Day Internationals (ODIs) against Pakistan, he has scored 678 runs at an impressive average of 52.15. This includes three centuries and two half-centuries.

With Kohli’s past performances and India’s solid start in the tournament, all eyes will be on the star batter to deliver once again in this high-stakes encounter.
