India, Pakistan match in ICC Champions Trophy will be played on June 4
(Web Desk) – Pakistan all-rounder Hasan Ali said in an interview on Tuesday he will be targeting the Indian skipper and star batsman Virat Kohli in India-Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy 2017 match.
As the play-off between arch-rivals in mini World Cup is nearing, players are exchanging statements to take mental advantage over each other before the game. Moreover, senior cricketers are making predictions, most of them favouring their home side to score a victory.
Junaid Khan had recently said in a statement that he had dismissed Kohli in three out of the four matches played together while reaffirming that the top-quality batsman had failed against him in the past.

When asked about the Indo-Pak rivalry on the field, Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed looked confident during a press conference before the tournament. He said, “We (Pakistan cricket team) have a better record against India in the Champions Trophy. We are looking to maintain that against them and it’s very exciting.”
Haris Sohail, who is making a comeback in the side after recovering from injury, told Dunya News that he worked hard to regain his fitness. Rising left-hand batsman Fakhar Zaman said he has no particular bowler as his target but will play every ball according to merit during the India-Pakistan game.
