Following the big announcement on Twitter, Akhtar posted “Q & A for half an hour about this & a lot more. Use the hashtag #RawalpindiExpressTheFilm and you may get lucky with a response,” calling for fans to share their questions for the Pakistan great.

"One word for Virat Kohli #Rawalpindiexpressthefilm," shared one of his fans on Twitter and Akhtar quickly replied to the fan saying, “Legend already.”

Kohli has presently been struggling with the bat which is part of his ongoing century drought that stretches back to November 2019. In 78 innings across formats since his match-winning 136 against Bangladesh in Kolkata in the historic Pink Ball Test, the three-figure mark has eluded the former India captain.

Kohli then faced immense criticism for his poor show in England where he scored 12 runs in the T20I series and 33 runs in ODIs before being rested for the limited-overs tour of West Indies.

Amid criticism from legenadry cricketers which includes Kapil Dev, Akhtar backed Kohli.

“People are saying that he should be dropped. Virat Kohli is finished. There is nothing more left in his career and he would not be able to do anything more in his career. To them, I say Virat Kohli is the greatest player. In the last 10 years, if there has been any greatest player, it is Virat. He has 1-2 bad years, he still has scored runs, just the century has not come,” Akhtar said in his YouTube channel.

“As a Pakistani, I’m supporting Virat Kohli because he has 70 centuries. It’s not Candy Crush. Only a great player can score these many centuries, something a normal player can’t do. When Kohli comes out of this phase, it will be a different Virat Kohli,” the pacer added.
