Left arm pace-medium bowler Sohail Tanvir believes that Pakistan doesn't need to indulge in sledging to scalp Indian star batsman Virat Kohli's wicket, saying that his team has enough firepower to bowl him out during their game against India at next month's World Cup.
Commenting on use of sledging, Tanvir said that Pakistan has enough bowling options to get Kohli out, adding that they didn't need to rely on sledging but get him out cheaply, Pak Passion reported.
However, Tanvir also warned his teammates that there would be six other Indian batsmen to contend with, adding that those batsmen could single-handedly win the game for India on a particular day, the report added.
Tanvir has not been included in Pakistan's squad for the World Cup, which gets underway from February 14 in Australia and New Zealand.
Pakistan will open their World Cup campaign against arch-rivals India on February 15 in Adelaide.
