Umar Akmal Is Trolled Mercilessly On Social Media After Comparing Himself To Virat Kohli

He is no stranger to making strange comments and he did the same once again. While speaking to the media, during the post-match conference after his match-winning performance in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) clash between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United, he compared himself to Virat Kohli.

He said that there can be no comparisons between the two as he bats at number 6 and Kohli walks in at number 3. 

"When people compare me to Kohli, it's a matter of number. Since Kohli's debut he is batting at number three and I have been



batting at number six. Let me play at number three slot and him on six, then compare me with him. I never wailed over my number. I do everything for my team," he said

“Whatever cricket I have played, it's for the team and the number comes later. But when people compare me with Kohli, only then do I point out that I bat in the lower middle order,” Akmal added.

Obviously Kohli's fans did not take too kindly to these words and went after him on Twitter. If Akmal thought he could get away with it, he was sadly mistaken.
