If I sledge Virat Kohli, he will get angry, but Sachin Tendulkar would get more determined, says Wasim Akram
Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram on Wednesday (May 13) mentioned that legendary India batsman Sachin Tendulkar edges out the present skipper Virat Kohli in the case of psychological toughness.
Notably, Wasim, who’s considered one of many biggest bowlers to play the sport of cricket thus far, has bowled a number of instances to Tendulkar throughout their enjoying days. Akram mentioned that if he have been to bowl to Kohli, the possibilities of claiming his wicket can be greater than Tendulkar.
“He (Virat) is a modern great. Compared to Sachin, two different players altogether. He’s very aggressive, as a person, as a batsman – positive aggression. Sachin was calm and yet aggressive; different body language. So as a bowler you read that as well,” Akram advised Aakash Chopra on his YouTube Channel.
“Sachin knew that if I would try and sledge him, he would get even more determined. This is my take and I might be wrong. If I am to sledge Kohli will lose his temper. So, when a batsman gets angry, perhaps he will attack you and that is when you have the maximum chances of getting him out,” he added.
However, so far as breaking the data set by Master Blaster Tendulkar are involved, Akram mentioned that it’s unlikely that Kohli would be capable to break Tendulkar’s data. Kohli, with 43 ODI centuries is on track to interrupt Tendulkar’s world file of 49 ODI tons and it’s anticipated that he would grow to be the primary batsman to attain 50 ODI tons.
But so far as a number of different batting data created by Tendulkar are involved, Akram is just not certain of Kohli reaching there. “As far as his technique is concerned, no doubt Virat Kohli is a nightmare for bowlers now a days. He is supremely fit; he looks good. He enjoys his fielding and he does whatever a leader is supposed to do. You can just see and figure it out,” Akram mentioned.
“I’m a straight shooter; I say what I feel. I can’t compare them both but I think, Virat Kohli will go places and he will break so many records. Can he break Sachin’s record? I doubt it. He has far too many records man. He’s getting there but there’s time,” he added.
