Delhi: Team India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli is discussed a lot in Pakistan apart from India. Not only this, in Pakistan, King Kohli's batting is compared to Babar Azam. However, former Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Kamran Akmal has named not Babar but a Pakistani batsman who is better than Virat in the history of T20 World Cup.

In fact, while talking to ARY News channel, Kamran has called his brother and Pakistani wicketkeeper Umar Akmal a better batsman than Kohli. He said that Umar's statistics in the T20 World Cup are better than Virat's and his strike rate is also higher than him. Kamran further said that in overall record, Umar Akmal is equal to a little finger in front of Virat Kohli, but in T20 World Cup stats, he is ahead of Kohli.

A look at the stats of both players

Now if we compare the statistics of both, then in the history of T20 World Cup, Virat has scored 1146 runs in 30 matches at a strike rate of 130.2 and an average of 68, which includes 14 half-centuries. Apart from this, he has also hit 28 sixes and 104 fours.

On the other hand, Umar Akmal has played 20 matches in the T20 World Cup and has scored only 486 runs at a strike rate of 134 and an average of 34, which includes a total of three half-centuries. He has hit only 19 sixes and 32 fours. In such a situation, it is clearly visible from these figures that apart from the strike rate, Umar Akmal is not ahead of the Indian legend in any matter.

For your information, let us tell you that King Kohli is the highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup. He also won the Player of the Tournament title in the 2014 and 2016 T20 World Cups. Apart from this, the right-handed batsman was also the highest run-scorer in the 2022 World Cup.

It is worth noting that Virat Kohli is considered one of the greatest batsmen of all time. He has made many big records in international cricket.
