In a recent podcast, fast bowler Sohail Khan revealed details of a heated exchange between him and Indian cricket star Virat Kohli during a World Cup match between Pakistan and India in 2015. 

According to Sohail, Kohli, who had just arrived on the national scene, approached him after scoring a century and questioned his chirping. 

Sohail shut down Kohli and informed him that he was a Test cricketer while Kohli was still playing Under-19. 

"You’ve just arrived, and you speak so much," I was a Test cricketer back then. I had played Test matches in 2006-07. Then in between, I endured a troubled knee that forced me out of action. I said, ‘Son when you were playing Under-19 for India, your father [referring to himself] was a Test player. That’s how I said it. Then if you see carefully, Misbah intervened, and he got angry at me. He asked me to keep quiet,” Sohail said.

The incident prompted intervention from Pakistan captain Misbah and India captain MS Dhoni, who asked Kohli to back off. 

“That’s how I said it. Then if you see carefully, Misbah intervened, and he got angry at me. He asked me to keep quiet. Then MS Dhoni also came and told Kohli to back off. He’s an old bloke; you don’t know him,” he added.

Sohail now respects Kohli for his achievements and considers the incident well in the past.

“I respect him today because he is a great batter, amazing,” he added.
