Shayan Jahangir and Virat Kohli (Source: Twitter)
USA batter Shayan Jahangir who was recently in the news for his blistering century against Nepal in the ODI World Cup 2023 Qualifiers happening in Zimbabwe made the headline once more. This time, in conversation with the Apex Cricket Council, he revealed that his goal in life was to play against Virat Kohli. "My Ultimate goal is to play against Virat Kohli," Jahangir said.
Talking about the recent game, in World Cup qualifying Group A match in Harare, Nepal defeated the United States by six wickets, despite Shayan Jahangir's 79-ball century. In their first innings of play, the USA could only muster 207 runs in 49 overs, with KC Karan of Nepal taking four wickets to bowl out the opposition.
The USA will next take on the Netherlands in the 2023 ODI WC Qualifiers
In the chase, Nepal maintained total dominance because to middle-order batsman Bhim Sharki's composed, unbroken 77. With seven over remaining, the Asian team was victorious thanks to a late flourish from Dipender Singh Airee. When compared to the winless USA, Nepal, who had previously lost its tournament opener to Zimbabwe, is currently third in Group A. On June 22, Nepal will play host to the West Indies, while the USA will take against the Netherlands. The World Cup, which will be held in India in October and November, will only have two of the ten teams who competed in the three-week qualifying.
Talking of Virat Kohli, the star batter recently completed 12 years in Test Cricket. To mark his 12 years playing Test Cricket, he created a unique tweet. Numerous responses have flooded the comment section from fans. One of the senior batters who received feedback for his play in the World Test Championship final (WTC), which just concluded at The Oval, was Virat Kohli. In the fourth inning of the match, Kohli fell one run short of reaching his half-century. He was dismissed while pursuing a wide delivery at a vital point in the game, and his dismissal technique was critiqued.
Here’s how fans reacted:
