Akhtar slams critics: Why shouldn’t I praise Virat and Rohit?

TIL Desk Sports/ Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has lashed out at the critics who trolled him for praising Indian cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

While reviewing the performance of both Pakistan and Indian cricket teams, Akhtar recently praised Kohli and Rohit, something that has not gone down well with Pakistani cricket fans.

The former fast bowler asked his critics why he shouldn’t laud Indian players as they were the best in the business in the current era.

“Why should I not praise Indian players and Virat Kohli? Is there any player in Pakistan, or all over the world, which comes close to Kohli? I don’t know why people are angry; they should go look at the stats first before criticising me,” Akhtar said.
