Kohli, who did not rating a ton for greater than three years, ended his century drought final 12 months within the Asia Cup in opposition to Afghanistan, which was his 1st hundred in T20Is. Since then, the 35-year-old hasn’t appeared again, smashing three centuries in his final seven ODI outings. He is simply three ODI tons away from equalling former India batter Sachin Tendulkar‘s (49) report of scoring probably the most variety of tons within the format.

“I am not comparing myself with Virat Kohli. Fact is, in 50-overs cricket, whoever are there in the top-10, I am the world no.1. Kohli is behind me as he scores a century every six innings. I score century every 5.68 innings, which is a world record. Over the last 10 years, my average is 53, and I am ranked fifth in the world, as far as List A cricket is concerned,” Manzoor mentioned on Nadir Ali’s Podcast.
The 36-year-old mentioned that regardless of scoring runs in home cricket on a constant foundation, he has been ignored by the nationwide selectors.
“I also have scored 24 centuries in the last 48 innings. Between 2015 and now, whoever has opened for Pakistan, I still remain the leading scorer among them. I am also the top scorer and century getter in national T20. Yet I get ignored. I have 8-9 records (in List A cricket),” he added.
Notably, Manzoor final performed for Pakistan in the course of the Asia Cup in 2016. Since then, he has been honing his expertise in Pakistan’s Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and National Cup
