Look At His Achievement, His Service: Kamran Akmal Lambasts Fans Demanding The Sacking Of Captain Virat Kohli

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal has lambasted fans who have been questioning Virat Kohli’s leadership credentials ever since Team India lost the World Test Championship final to New Zealand.

The WTC final is the 3rd ICC event under Virar Kohli’s leadership where Team India has faltered in the knockout stages.

And, ever since India have lost the final, Virat Kohli’s detractors have started demanding his resignation from the leadership post.

Hailing Kohli as India’s best captain after MS Dhoni, Kamran Akmal said that just because India has failed to win an ICC event, it does not mean that we should shrug off whatever the team has achieved under his leadership.

The former Pakistani international then went on to list Virat Kohli’s achievements as captain which includes taking his team to the zenith of the ICC Test rankings and maintaining the strange hold over the position for close to 5 years

“Virat Kohli is the best captain after MS Dhoni. He has 70 centuries. He played the Champions Trophy and the 2019 World Cup. Sure enough, India lost but what is his fault in it? India have remained the No. 1 Test for five years. Look at his achievement, his service… his captaincy is terrific. There is no doubt about it. He is an amazing player and the way he has prepared himself is phenomenal,” Kamran Akmal told sports presenter Sawera Pasha on her YouTube channel.

As far as winning an ICC event is concerned, Kamran Akmal believes that it all depends on that particular day.

He also reckoned that even if India changes their captain it still doesn’t guarantee them a world title.

“He is an amazing player, amazing captain, and no one can guarantee that if India changes the captain, they will win ICC tournaments. It is a matter of luck. It is easy to point fingers, especially those who have no idea about cricket. People who have not even led a gully team are now giving Kohli and India advice to change their captain,” Akmal said,

“I don’t think he would be affected by any of such things. He is mentally strong, a big performer. No one comes close to him. To score so many centuries and average over 50 in all three formats. Amazing.” he added.
