'Forget & forgive’: Akhtar says Kohli was forced to leave captaincy

Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar has stated that Virat Kohli was forced to leave the captaincy of India and that he was never in favour of the 33-year-old as an Indian captain. The veteran cricketer further added that Kohli should have concentrated on just piling runs. Last year, Virat Kohli had stepped down as the T20I captain. He was then removed as the ODI leader as the selectors wanted one skipper for the white-ball format. Last week, Kohli stepped down as India's Test captain after leading the side for seven years.
