Indian batting star Virat Kohli has revealed that he would have feared batting against Pakistan’s left-arm swing legend Wasim Akram if he played against him.
“The bowler I most fear, or I would have feared if I had played [against him] would be Wasim Akram; fast and skillful,” Kohli answered a quick-fire question, while giving an interview to CNN.
Furthermore, during the interview, Kohli revealed that Pakistani and Indian players have a lot of mutual respect and admiration between them. When asked if it makes a difference when he goes out to play against Pakistan, Kohli said, “Now, no. But initially that used to be a massive change in my mindset. When I came to play for the Indian team, in my head, I saw those games as a fan."
Responding to the question on what it is like in the dressing rooms of Pakistan and India, Kohli said, “I didn’t know how the players interact in the dressing room but if you see the Pakistani and Indian players talk to each other, you can just keep laughing.” He further added that since both Pakistan and Indian players understand each other’s language so they develop a sense of respect and admiration for each other.
Indian Test skipper Kohli had earlier spoken very high about fast bowler Muhammad Amir.
