‘Abhi se dihari ke liye chaplusi karne lage’ – Fans react as former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram picks Virat Kohli as his favourite Indian batter

Star India batter Virat Kohli has been phenomenal throughout his cricketing career. Apart from a poor patch in the last few years, Kohli has been one man army for the Indian team in various important matches. Since Asia Cup 2022, he has scored more than 1600 international runs and has been amazing with the bat.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram praised Kohli and said that he is his favourite Indian batter currently. He said that Virat Kohli is currently the most successful Indian cricketer and he is my favourite cricketer. To be precise, Akram said, “Virat Kohli is my favourite Indian cricketer currently.” Notably, this is not the first time when Akram has praised Kohli as he said that Kohli has worked hard to reach there.

Speaking about the comparison between Kohli and Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, Akram believes that Kohli has achieved much more. He believes that Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson are the legendary players of the present time. All of them are strong icons and Babar Azam is not yet equal to these players. Though, he believes that Babar is making rapid progress. In the coming time, he can also register many big records in his name.
