Kamran Akmal picks his favorite IPL side
However, he is now in the spotlight for naming his favorite IPL team. During a Q/A session on Twitter, Kamran responded to a fan???s question by naming Chennai Super Kings as his favorite team. The wicket-keeper batsman has played for the Rajasthan Royals in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League.
He was a part of the 2008 IPL finals, where the Royals defeated the MS Dhoni-led Super Kings. The cricketer has been in fine form of late. He finished as the second-highest run-getter in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2019-20 edition. Even in the shortest format- PSL, Kamran has amassed 906 runs from 11 games at a staggering average of 60.40.

Kamran Akmal hogged the spotlight for wrong reasons
He was expecting a call-up for the T20I series against Bangladesh. But on knowing the snub, the 38-year-old tore apart the selectors??? decision.
???I don???t lose heart but there is a limit. It???s been 5 years, you have brought a new system which will have the best quality, best talent and whoever performs will automatically be considered. Should I go and perform in India or Australia to be considered? I am Pakistan???s player, I have been performing since 5 years, how much should I tolerate it????
He also went on to reveal that India???s Rohit Sharma is his favorite six-hitter. India???s white-ball deputy has been in supreme form. Rohit was instrumental in India handing a white-wash to the New Zealand side in the T20Is. Kamran took a lot many questions and didn???t disappoint his fans.
