What is Virat Kohli's record against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy?

Senior Team India batter Virat Kohli will be looking to come up with a big effort when the Men in Blue take on arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai in the 2025 Champions Trophy match in Dubai on Sunday, February 23. India won their opening match of the ICC event against Bangladesh by six wickets, but Kohli failed to make an impact. He was out for 22 off 38 balls, caught off Rishad Hossain's bowling.

The former India captain has, however, enjoyed his white-ball battles against Pakistan and will thus be confident of putting up a good show. If we take a look at Kohli's record against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy, in four innings he has scored 124 runs at an average of 62 and a strike rate of 96.87, with one half-century to his credit.

The 36-year-old's best of 81* came off 68 balls in Birmingham in the group match during the 2017 Champions Trophy. The right-handed batter struck six fours and three sixes in his innings as India won the game by 124 runs (DLS method). In his other three knocks against Pakistan in the ICC event, Kohli scored 16 (Centurion, 2009), 22* (Birmingham, 2013), and 5 (The Oval, 2017 CT final).
