T20 World Cup: IND vs ZIM – Virat Kohli, one of the greatest cricketers to ever play the game, has again drawn attention with his performances for India in the T20 World Cup 2022. The star batter is the leading run-scorer of the T20I World Cup 2022 with 220 runs to his name. Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram stressed how Kohli refused to let the “captaincy sacking” episode affect his performance and kept giving his all while discussing the attributes that Kohli brings with him. Wasim Akram, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik, and Waqar Younis spoke on the importance of physical fitness in contemporary sports at a panel discussion on A Sports.

“Instead of sulking as he got dropped as a captain and blah blah blah, telling himself I will just stand quietly at short fine-leg but he said no I got dropped as a captain, fine! I will play as a batter and also be the best fielder in the Indian side,” Akram said.

Waqar Younis also expressed his opinions on the subject, saying that a Pakistani player typically returns home after being demoted from captaincy.
“In Pakistan, you go home after you are dropped from captaincy. I don’t remember any player (from Pakistan) who got dropped from captaincy and continued to make an impact as a player,” Younis said.
Shoaib Malik emphasized that Kohli doesn’t excuse his mistakes and strives to succeed even as a fielder if he is unable to contribute with the bat.
“This is something we’ve got to learn from Virat Kohli. Here in Pakistan, if you’ve scored runs, then people roam around with their collars up. There’s no harm in doing that but always be a team man whether you have scored runs or not. His quality is that he plays the entire 40 overs with the same intensity. You will always see Kohli trying to help out the team in the field. It doesn’t matter whether he has scored a hundred or has been dismissed for a zero,” Malik said.
It was over 1000 days since Virat Kohli scored a century and many had already written off the former Indian captain as being done. However, the star batter proved that “a king is always a king” by destroying Afghanistan’s bowlers and scoring his eagerly anticipated 71st international century in the Asia Cup earlier this year. Since then, he hasn’t stopped, scoring three half-centuries in the tournament’T20 World Cup’s first four games.
