Virat Kohli vs Wasim Akram

Ad

Without a shadow of a doubt, Virat Kohli is the best batsman across all three formats in this generation and Wasim Akram is widely regarded as the best bowler to have graced the game.

Virat has the hunger to keep scoring runs and he has been successfully doing that for a while now. Even the best in the business have weaknesses though. The case is no different with Virat as he is vulnerable against swinging balls that are pitched outside off stump (fourth or fifth stump). Sometimes, he nicks the ball to the keeper or the slip cordon and sometimes, preempts a ball that moves away from him and gets out to a ball that comes in.

So, watching Kohli against bowlers who can do this on a consistent basis will be an interesting proposition. Wasim can do exactly that as he has troubled all the batsmen during his time, with his swing. Just imagine the battle between Wasim at his peak and Virat at his peak. It would be an intriguing one as both players would be tested throughout.
