Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal, while praising his brother Umar Akmal, said too much, which Indian fans may not like.
While spewing venom against Virat, he also said that the former captain of Team India has a very strong PR (Public Relations), that is why he became a big player. He termed Umar Akmal as a bigger player than Virat Kohli.
He also said that the entire PR (Public Relations) team works to brighten Virat’s image. Akmal says that if any current Pakistani cricketer playing in the T20 World Cup had such statistics, he would have questioned Virat Kohli’s greatness.

While talking to Pakistan’s ARY News, Kamran Akmal said big things. He said that even though Umar does not come close to Kohli’s stature in world cricket, his strike rate is better than the Indian star and his best individual score in the T20 World Cup is also better than Virat. Kamran Akmal said, ‘The stats that came yesterday, I am talking about Umar and Virat. Umar is equal to Virat Kohli’s little finger.’
He becomes a big player…
Akmal further said, ‘Virat Kohli’s performance and status. He has a better strike rate than Virat Kohli, his score is also more. We do not have any PR company. We do not spread our stats so much on social media. Imagine if these stats were in the name of any of these 15 (Pakistani) players, there would have been a storm by now. I would not be surprised if they taunted Virat Kohli that ‘he becomes a big player, he has scored a lot’. He (Umar Akmal) is such a player. I will send the stats, you will be surprised when you see them.’
Umar Akmal’s strange records
Umar Akmal is slightly ahead of Virat Kohli in terms of strike rate. Umar’s strike rate in the T20 World Cup is 132.42 while Kohli’s strike rate in this tournament is 130.52. The veteran Pakistan cricketer’s personal score was 94 runs in the 2014 T20 World Cup. At the same time, Virat Kohli played an unbeaten innings of 89 runs against Pakistan in the 2022 World Cup. This is his best performance.
