Shahzad expressed his admiration for Kohli's transformation as a player and his willingness to offer guidance when it comes to cricket
Pakistan cricketer, Ahmad Shahzad, spoke highly of Indian cricketer, Virat Kohli, and their mutual respect for each other.
While speaking in a local YouTube podcast, Shahzad expressed his admiration for Kohli's transformation as a player and his willingness to offer guidance when it comes to cricket.
"We share a mutual respect for each other. Whenever I need any advice regarding cricket, he [Kohli] has been kind (to help me out),” Shahzad said.
Moreover, Shahzad recognized Kohli's significant contributions to Indian cricket, particularly in Test cricket. He credited Kohli for taking the Indian team to new heights in the longer format of the game.
“I really respect him as a player. He has changed himself dramatically. When he burst onto the scene during the U-19 World Cup, he was a bit chubby. But the way he has transformed himself, not just from the cricketing aspect, it is commendable. He took India to new heights in Test cricket. I haven't seen someone who has adapted so quickly. I feel, his best is yet to come," he added.
