Kohli has over 20,000 runs in international cricket now. But the Indian cricketer has been out of form for the last two years. In the ongoing season of IPL, he is yet to play an impactful innings. His poor form is a worry for both Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Indian cricket team, with the T20 World Cup in Australia just months away from the kickoff. Kohli was up against Akhtar in the 2010 Asia Cup in Dambulla. However, his early removal denied a contest between the then youngster and the veteran pacer.

I got out, (so) I couldn’t face him. But I saw him bowl and he looked very lethal even at the later stages of his career. At that time, I felt (that) batsmen would not have wanted to face him when he was at his peak.”,Also Read: IPL 2022: MS Dhoni makes last-minute field changes to bring down Virat Kohli | Watch,Five years later, during the IPL 2022, in an interview with Sportskeeda, Akhtar said that Kohli would never have ended up scoring so many runs had he ever faced him. ,“Virat Kohli is a good person and a big cricketer and you only expect big words from big players. And I thank him a lot for that. But, if I would have played against Virat Kohli then he would not have scored these many runs but whatever he would have scored those would have been fabulous and it would look that he really fought hard for those runs. He may not have had 50 centuries. 20 or 25 may at the most but those would have been valiant hundreds. I would have gotten the best out of Virat Kohli,” he said.

Also Read: ICC Women's World Cup: India beat Pakistan by 107 runs,The International Cricket Council (ICC) tweeted the photo of the Indian team taking a selfie with the adorable baby and captioned it: “Little Fatima’s first lesson in the spirit of cricket from India and Pakistan.”,Since then, several photos and videos have emerged from the Pakistan dressing room showing the Indian women playing with little Fatima. In one of the photos, batter Ekta Bisht can be seen spending some time with the baby at the pavilion.

If I had to continue my career, the question would have been – where would my kid go? And if I’m on the field, who will take care of the kid? Hiring a nanny and taking her along everywhere is expensive, and as women cricketers, we don’t earn as much to afford such luxuries. Our contracts help us survive and make a living, but without a parental policy, it would’ve become difficult to continue playing with a child around.”,Also Read: Who is Bismah Maroof, first Pakistani to resume national duty post motherhood?,“With a kid around, it’s a different energy in the team, everyone feels relaxed.

On Saturday, the 21-year-old named his picks for the dream hat-trick that included three Indian stars, with one of them being the most prized wicket of his career so far. ,Afridi named Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli as his dream hat-trick picks on ESPNCricinfo’s '25 questions'. The pace sensation dismissed the trio in their T20 World Cup opener last year, as his fiery spell helped Pakistan script a historic win over arch-rivals India. He also said that Kohli’s dismissal in that match was the most prized wicket of his career. Also Read | Shaheen Shah Afridi wins ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year award,Afridi opened the bowling for Pakistan and made the perfect start, with an inswinging yorker that beat Sharma all ends up and struck plumb on his pads. The right-handed batsman departed for a golden duck in the first over of India’s campaign opener in Dubai. ,In his next over, he bowled an unplayable length delivery to Rahul, that straightened and nipped back in sharply off the pitch before sneaking through the gap between bat and pad to crash into middle stump. Rahul scored just three from eight deliveries and Afridi finished with the powerplay with a figure of 2/19.
