I will be worried to bowl at Kohli: Wasim Akram

I will be worried to bowl at Kohli: Wasim Akram

Legendary Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram is also in the awe of India's run machine Virat Kohli. The Sultan of Swing, who has taken more than 400 wickets in Tests and ODIs, said that he would have been worried to bowl at Kohli. "Belief, his ability and on top of that his technique. We haven't seen him play the reverse shot or the lap shot, he always plays proper cricketing shots with the full face of the bat. "That's why he has been very consistent and as a bowler if I had to bowl at him, I will be worried. It's like in ODI cricket when Sachin Tendulkar opened the innings, it was very difficult to bowl at him because Sachin as a batsman and Kohli as a batsman will hardly give you a chance to get them out," Akram said.
