Virat Kohli is a good person as well as a great cricketer: Shoaib Akhtar

“Virat Kohli is a good person and a big cricketer, and big players say big things.” And I owe him a great debt of gratitude for that.

Furthermore, Akhtar stated that he would have “gotten the best out of Kohli.” “It’s possible he didn’t have 50 centuries.” At most, 20 or 25, but those would have been valiant hundreds. “I would have gotten the most out of Virat Kohli,” he went on to say.
