Virat Kohli is My Best Friend but also we are Best Enemies in the field, Shoaib

Pakistan’s former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar believes that the Indian captain would have enjoyed himself if he had played against the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shane Warne. “I wish Virat Kohli had played against the likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shane Warne. Even Virat would have enjoyed himself,” Shoaib Akhtar said today in an interview. The 44-year-old Pakistani cricket star further said the two “would have been the best of friends” if they had played together. “Virat Kohli and I would have been the best of friends. We both are Punjabi, we both have quite a similar nature,” Akhtar said. “He seems like he has a lot of heart, and even though, he’s a lot junior to me, I really respect him,” he added. Akhtar said that despite the similarities between the pair, the two cricketers “would have been the best of enemies” on the field. “I would initially get into Virat Kohli’s head. I would tell him that there’s no way he can cut or pull me off my bowling,” Akhtar added.
