Shoaib Akhtar lashes out at Virat Kohli’s ‘Critics’: Have you ever seen Sachin Tendulkar make such garbage statements?

Shoaib Akhtar has launched an impassioned defense of Virat Kohli, the former India captain. Kohli’s present troubles, according to the former Pakistan fast bowler, are simply preparing him for a run that would see him score ‘110 international centuries,’ and that past cricketers who are saying ugly things about him should not shame themselves in front of the media. Here in this article, we talk about Virat Kohli’s “Critics”.

Former players who are targeting Kohli should take a page from India’s batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, who, despite his recent troubles, has refrained from attacking the former India captain, according to Shoaib. Virat Kohli had a disappointing IPL season with the bat and hasn’t scored an international century in over two years.

“Sachin is the greatest and humblest guy ever. I really adore him when it comes to his behavior. He respects people a lot while speaking. Everyone should learn from him,” Shoaib mentioned on SportsKeeda.

He further added, “He is such a great cricketer and still he doesn’t make tweets that hurt people. We are getting old now. Shoaib Akhtar is no longer 25 years old, when I speak about cricketers, I will say what I want but I will behave myself.”

Shoaib also chastised individuals who criticized Kohli’s wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, as well as the abuse Kohli receives when he urges people not to light fireworks during Diwali.

He further added, “Why do you feel the need to embarrass yourself in front of the media by speaking nonsense? There are children who are paying attention to you. Virat Kohli deserves respect. As a Pakistani, I believe he is the best player in history. That is something I have told him before: I want him to score 110 centuries. He may now play till he is 45 years old without fear of injury. All that is going on right now is making him ready to cross that threshold. People are dismissing you and making disparaging remarks about you on Twitter. When you tweet on Diwali, you receive a lot of backlashes; people say things about your wife and your child. All of this is really a warm-up for you to achieve 110 worldwide centuries.”
