Recently, ex-India skipper Kapil Dev, while commenting on Virat Kohli's form said that Virat's current form should be taken into consideration to decide whether he deserves to get a place in India's playing XI or not.

Reacting to Kapil Dev's comments, Shoaib Akhtar said on his YouTube channel, "Kapil Dev is my senior and he has an opinion and it is fine to have an opinion. If Kapil Dev says, you still understand as he is a great cricketer. He has the right to air his opinion." 

"But, as a Pakistani, why am I supporting Kohli? Well, he has 70 hundreds. Woh 70 sau khaala ke ghar mein ya candy crush khelte huye nahi banein hain."
