Shoaib Akhtar’s incisive response when asked about praising Virat Kohli was, “Why Should I Not,”

Virat Kohli, who is regarded by many as the best batter of his time, has struggled recently, and it has been one of the most talked-about topics in cricket mythology. In August of last year, Kohli took a one-month hiatus from cricket to improve his mental health. Kohli broke his century drought during the Asia Cup. The 34-year-old made a powerful comeback and dominated the T20 World Cup with his game-winning innings against Pakistan.

Shoaib Akhtar, a former Pakistan pacer and passionate supporter of Kohli, has now shared the reason behind his admiration for the former India captain.

“See, in my opinion, Sachin Tendulkar is the world’s best batter. But, he didn’t come across as a captain. The captain himself resigned. I was speaking with a friend about Virat Kohli, and we were having the same conversation. When he focuses on his thinking, he would perform because he was lost. He lit up the T20 World Cup when his mind was clear. It appeared that the event was specifically planned by god for him to make a return “Speaking on Suno News, Akhtar.

“You should also note that nearly 40 of Kohli’s hundreds came during run chases. Main kehta hu kaise naa karu, log kehte hain tum Virat ki bohot tareef karte ho? (They claim that you frequently extol Virat Kohli. Why shouldn’t I do that, I simply ask? India used to win at one point thanks to Virat’s hundreds, “Added he.

Now, Kohli is competing for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy match against Australia. The star batter, however, has yet to record a significant knock in the first three Test matches.
