Former cricketer answers India vs Afghanistan Live Score: Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, "If you see the entire World Cup, Virat Kohli has a playing style and he scores a lot of runs when he follows that template.

Even in T20s, he rarely starts hitting fours and sixes from the first ball. He takes his time. If he has to run at a strike rate of 150, he does that in the powerplay," "In New York or the West Indies, the pitches will be such that there will be more chances of runs getting scored in the first six overs.

So ideally, you want Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be together from the start. If you have to follow that template, start it now," the former Indian cricketer added..
