While speaking about the former Indian captain Virat Kohli, former Pakistani cricketer and commentator Shoaib Akhtar on January 23 in Muscat, Oman, said that he wouldn’t have married if he would have been in Virat’s place, and instead would have focused on his career.
“Performance pressure is there on him (Virat Kohli). I wanted him to marry after scoring 120 centuries. I wouldn't have married if I had been in his place. Anyway, that's his personal decision,” said Akhtar.
The comment was in regards to Virat Kohli’s decision of stepping down from the captaincy.
