5 things that could have happened if Virat Kohli was a Pakistani

#5 Next Hasan Raza

Being in the right circle helped Kohli realise his potential

Remember Hasan Raza? I clearly don’t, but I was made aware of his presence by a friend. For those of you who don’t know him, and I am assuming that the number is on the higher end of the spectrum, he is the youngest ever player to play in Tests and ODIs, debuting in both formats at the mere age of 14.

He was labelled as an esoteric talent, an aesthetic stroke player who generated a lot of hope among Pakistani fans. Unfortunately, however, he couldn’t replicate his domestic know-how of the game on the international level.

With Virat Kohli, something similar could have happened had he represented Pakistan. For one, he would definitely have had made his debut a lot earlier and the hype around him could have put him under more pressure than an unemployed man with a family to run.

And he could have crashed like web pages do on Internet Explorer.
