IND vs SL: "Players Can't Even Imagine Scoring 45 Centuries Across Formats" - Kamran Akmal Praises Virat Kohli

Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal praised Virat Kohli and summarized his significance to Rohit Sharma’s Team India.

Virat Kohli has been in good form since last year’s Asia Cup, and he was the top scorer in the T20 World Cup, which was hosted in Australia. The elegant batsman hit a century in the first ODI against Sri Lanka, giving him back-to-back hundreds in the format.

He had previously scored a century against Bangladesh. Kohli smashed 113 runs off 87 balls, including 12 fours and a six, as India reached 373 for seven in 50 overs. Umran Malik’s three-wicket haul helped India restrict Sri Lanka to 306 for eight in 50 overs at Guwahati.

Virat Kohli, who had been in excellent form, could only produce four runs in the second One-Day International against Sri Lanka, which India won by four wickets. KL Rahul’s unbroken fifty-five helped the home team win the series in Kolkata.

“Virat Kohli has scored 73 international tons so far”: Kamran Akmal

Former Pakistani player Kamran Akmal praised Virat Kohli for his 73 international centuries after the first ODI, adding that current cricketers can’t even conceive of amassing 45 tons across all forms.

In a video posted on YouTube, he stated, “Players nowadays can’t imagine hitting 45 hundred across formats, but Virat Kohli has done so in a single format. So far, he has 73 international tons. He was given opportunities, but he made the most of them.”

“He had a century here two or three years ago, and now he has found his form with another hundred. He played in both the World Cup and the Asia Cup. The runs haven’t stopped, demonstrating how crucial a player he is for India,” Kamran Akmal added.

An unbeaten half-century by KL Rahul helped India to defeat Sri Lanka by four wickets in the second ODI.
