Don't pull Virat Kohli down, those 70 hundreds weren't scored in aunt's backyard: Shoaib Akhtar
Shoaib Akhtar has hit out at Virat Kohli's critics and reminded them that the former India captain's 70 international hundreds weren't scored in "aunt's backyard" or while playing "candy crush video game".

"How did you even imagine in your wildest dreams that Kohli can be dropped from Indian team?" "Virat Kohli is finished? Ok, fair enough. Virat Kohli should be dropped? Agreed. Now when I hear these things, I laugh and tell people, 'Virat has been the greatest batter in the world in the last 10 years.
