Sourav Ganguly reply to Shoaib Akhtar's comments on Virat Kohli

Former Indian captain and one of the greatest players Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli share a not-so-likable relationship, and there is no hiding the fact that they don’t get along with each other well despite the fact that Sourav Ganguly recently came out in support of Virat Kohli by giving a befitting reply to the ex-Pak pacer Shoaib Akhtar’s advice of retirement to Virat Kohli, who has recently completed 15 years in international cricket and with growing age, his performance will decline naturally, so Shoaib Akhtar gave advice to Virat Kohli to retire from the ODIs and T20s to focus on test cricket to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international centuries, but Sourav Ganguly thinks otherwise.

I don’t think he should play more 50-overs matches after this World Cup. Also, if you see him in T20s, it takes a lot out of him. I think he should play for at least six more years and break the 100 hundreds record of Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli has it in him to break the record. He should focus on Test cricket after this World Cup, and break this record,

Sourav Ganguly was attending the Denver event, and when he was asked about his thoughts on the advice given by Shoaib Akhtar, he gave a reply that will be liked by every Virat Kohli fan, though praise for Virat Kohli from Ganguly’s mouth shouldn’t surprise an Indian cricket fan as they both shared the same goal of taking Indian cricket as high as possible.

Why? Virat Kohli should play whatever cricket he wants to play. Because he performs,”
Ganguly said

India will face Pakistan this year for the first time in the Asia Cup 2023 on September 2 in Sri Lanka, and there are high probabilities that both teams will clash one more time in the same event if they manage to be on top of their group.
