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

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.
