Akhtar earlier said that while the bowlers across the world find it extremely difficult to dismiss India skipper Virat Kohli, he had the arsenal to send the batsman packing.
Speaking in an Instagram Live video, Akhtar revealed how he would get rid of Kohli, if he was to bowl to him. "If I was bowling, I would go wider of the crease and pitch the ball up (to Kohli) and shape it away from him in order to make him drive. If that does not work, I will bowl him at 150 (kph) and he will get out," he explained.
Akhtar's proposal to have an India-Pakistan series to collect funds to fight the pandemic was strongly opposed to by quite a few former India cricketers who feel that now is not the time to speak about cricket.
