Virat Kohli: Shoaib Akhtar, the former fast bowler of the Pakistani cricket team, has often been seen openly praising Virat Kohli, the former captain of the Indian team. At the time when Virat Kohli was going through a very bad phase, Shoaib Akhtar supported him and said that Kohli would appear again in his old style soon. Now Akhtar has also revealed why he praises Kohli so much.
Virat Kohli is counted among the great batsmen of the world cricket of the present time. Kohli has already made countless records with his bat, breaking which is not an easy task for any player. However, despite all this, Kohli also got to see such a bad phase in his career where he was criticized fiercely.
Now former Pakistan player Shoaib Akhtar has given this answer to everyone by giving a statement that why he is often seen praising Virat Kohli so much. According to Shoaib, at one time the Indian team used to win only on the strength of Virat Kohli’s century innings.
You should only see Virat’s record
In the statement given by Shoaib Akhtar to Bol News, he said that you should see the 40 centuries that Kohli has scored while chasing the target. People say that you praise Virat a lot, I say how not to? There was a time when the Indian team used to win only on the strength of Virat’s century.
Apart from this, Akhtar made a different comparison between Sachin and Virat and said that look, I consider Sachin to be the greatest batsman in the world. But as a captain he was not successful at all. Understanding the pressure of captaincy, he left him. I was talking to one of my friends about Virat Kohli on this topic. I said that Virat is lost somewhere and when he calms his mind, then he will start scoring runs again.
