Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli enjoys a massive fan following across the globe. He has a large number of admirers even in India’s neighbouring country and their biggest rival on the cricket field, Pakistan. Recently, Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf was asked to guess the person on a screen on a Pakistan show while being blindfolded. The person was none other than Virat Kohli. The description given by the show’s anchor about Kohli has been going viral all over social media.
The anchor tried to describe the person on the screen by giving hints. While narrating who Kohli is, the anchor once said that Kohli "Rakh, rakh ke deta hai (he smashes it hard)". The description didn't just leave the audience in splits but also Rauf.
The anchor later said: "Aapko bhi rakh rakh ke diye hain (He has smashed it hard against you too)." Haris then asked: "Is he a cricketer?". The anchor's answer was in affirmity and the Pakistani pacer quickly guessed it was Virat Kohli.

I don't think he can play that shot again: Haris Rauf
During the show, Haris was full of praise for Kohli. He also spoke about the twin sixes that Kohli had hit to him in the 19th over of the runc-hase during the 20-20 World Cup 2022 clash. He said: "Anyone who knows cricket knows what sort of a player he is. He has played that shot now, I don't think he can do that again. Such shots are quite rare, you can't hit them again and again. His timing was perfect and it went for a six."
The innings being discussed was played during the recent 20-20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan. Virat had scored a magnificent knock of 82 runs in 53 balls, including 6 fours and 4 sixes. The match went down till the last ball as India required 28 runs from the last 8 balls to win.
It was at that moment when Kohli smashed a six straight down the ground on the backfoot against Haris Rauf which left the entire cricketing fraternity in disbelief. He further smashed another six on the next ball to bring India back into the match. The ‘Men-in-Blue’ eventually won the match on the last ball by four wickets.
