The former cricketer from Pakistan, Wasim Akram, came to the scene and backed Virat Kohli to surpass Sachin Tendulkar in that list and become the highest run getter ever in ODI chases.
“Look at these all names with the highest run chasers. Sachin, Rohit, Jayasuriya and Kallis. There are the greats of the game and Kohli is definitely going to pass Sachin Tendulkar the way it looks like. Kohli’s average is only second behind MSD.
MS Dhoni got near 100, and Kohli’s average is close to 90. That’s just phenomenal,” Akram continued on the show ‘The Pavilion’.
Akram analysed the game and said that Australia needed to set a target of at least 300 against India due to the inexperience of their side.
Two of them are unfit, while the other one has some personal issues and hasn’t shown up. Well, rather Australia didn’t help themselves. The score was said by Smith; if it was 290-300, they would have chased down the score. These two wickets of Smith and Maxwell led them to a very below-par score,” said Akram.
