Pakistani cricketers often spew venom against India on cricket issues. At present, the dispute between the two countries regarding ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is deepening. Champions Trophy will be organized in Pakistan in 2025. However, BCCI has refused to send its team to Pakistan due to security reasons. BCCI had put a condition of holding the Indian team's matches at other places on the hybrid model. At first the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) kept denying this. However, later he had to bow before ICC and BCCI. But PCB also insisted on not sending its team to India for the upcoming ICC events and put the condition of hybrid model like India.

It has been decided that India will not go to Pakistan. However, this decision has left Pakistani fans and Pakistani cricketers stunned. Pakistan's legendary fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has been advocating for India and Virat Kohli to play in Pakistan. Now when there is no possibility of this, he has given a controversial statement regarding India and Virat Kohli.

Virat wants to play in Pakistan at any cost!

During a conversation with former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez, 'Rawalpindi Express' Shoaib Akhtar has said that Virat Kohli wants to play in Pakistan. However, Akhtar's words deteriorated regarding 'King Kohli'. He said, 'India is more desperate than Pakistan for Pakistan to play in India. Virat Kohli is dying to play in Pakistan.

If India lands in Pakistan then...'

Akhtar did not stop here. Further he said, 'I work there, not in India, I know I am telling the truth. If India lands in Pakistan, India's TV rights and sponsorship will skyrocket. Further, Hafeez asked if there was any reason for India not coming to Pakistan. On this Shoaib said that the government does not want this.
