Iconic Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar said he wants India batsman Virat Kohli to score 110 centuries in international cricket.
Kohli has made 27 Test centuries and 43 ODI hundreds to date, putting him at 70 international centuries in total.
Even though the 33-year-old has been going through a rough patch, Akhtar noted that he told the former India captain that he can achieve this feat.
The Rawalpindi Express also lambasted those who have criticised Kohli.
“Why do you have to shame yourself in front of the media by talking rubbish. There are kids listening to you. Respect Virat Kohli. I as a Pakistani am saying that he is the greatest player of all time. I want him to score 110 centuries, that is something I have told him before,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Kohli recently featured in the fifth Test against England and made scores of 11 and 20.
