Speaking on how Kohli has developed himself Shoaib said, “He was part of the circle; he was a brat like me. All of a sudden, the system supported him. The management went around him. He also realized that there’s a lot of reputation at stake.”

Shoaib Akthar also said that it’s an advantage for Kohli that he is playing in an era where bowlers are not as tough as Sachin faced in his era. Regarding the same Akhtar said, “It’s also not his fault that Sachin Tendulkar played in a tougher era or Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Inzamam-ul-Haq played a much more competitive brand of cricket.  So if he is scoring runs, what can we say about it.”
