Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes things will be different and more challenging for stalwart Virat Kohli in the upcoming IPL season as the former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain will be playing his first IPL after retiring from Test cricket last year and is now active only in the ODI format. 

Pathan also added that despite Kohli’s strong performance in ODIs, even after the break, the same will not happen in T20s, as it will pose a different challenge for the charismatic batter.
