Virat Kohli “Didn’t hit 70 tons while playing Candy Crush”: The star of the former Pakistani star

Great Pakistani fast bowling game Shoaib Akhtar hit out at Virat kohlicritics and reminded them that the former India captain’s 70 hundred internationals were not recorded in “aunt’s backyard” or when playing the “candy crush video game”. Kohli’s long period of pain spanning nearly three years has led to calls to remove him from the T20 World Cup team, with both the legendary Kapil Dev voiced support for his exclusion.

While Akhtar said he respects Dev’s opinion that continuing with Kohli’s poor form is unfair to a junior performing, the Pakistani reminds everyone that it takes a lot of effort. effort to achieve 43 ODI points and 27 hundred test points.

“Kapil Dev is my senior and he has opinions and opinions are fine. If Kapil Dev speaks, you still understand he is a great cricketer. He has the right to give it. your opinion”. Akhtar said on his YouTube channel.

“But, as a Pakistani, why am I supporting Kohli? Well, he has 70 hundred. Woh 70 after khaala ke ghar mein ya candy crush khelte huye nahi banein hain. (that 70 tons is not credited.) in his aunt’s backyard or while playing Candy Crush).

Akhtar is having a hard time understanding how someone would harbor the intention of dropping a player of Kohli’s caliber.

“How can you even imagine in your wildest dreams that Kohli could be dropped from the Indian team?” “Virat Kohli is over? Ok, fair enough. Virat Kohli should be disqualified? Agreed. Now when I hear these things, I laugh and say to everyone, ‘Virat is the greatest smasher in the world in this game. past 10 years.

“Yes, he had a few skinny years and even in those years he scored hundreds of runs, if not hundreds. Suddenly everyone was up against him, one Such a great player and a human being is not right,” Rawalpindi Express’ said.

Akhtar then said that he felt Kohli was still carrying the captain’s baggage. “My advice to Virat would be simple – he should forget that he was once the captain of India with all the limelight on him and simply focus on hitting the ball. his shadow. All the criticism directed at him is designed to make him stronger and he will emerge as a bigger person.”

However, Akhtar also said that he never believed in the old adage that ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’. “Bhaijaan jab form jaati hai, class tab bhi jaati hai (when you lose form, even the class will fire you),” he said.

Akhtar’s advice to Kohli is not to try to hit his way out of trouble, but stick to it and play at least 100 balls.

“The run will come if he sticks around and just doesn’t hit enough. I’ve predicted 110 hundred internationals and once he gets back into form he’ll hit 30 hundred,” said Akhtar, who was urged the Indian superstar to swallow anger and criticism and translate it into performance.
