During an Instagram live session, Shoaib Akhtar said that he would lure Virat Kohli into driving the ball outside off-stump in an attempt to get him out. He stated that would go wider of the crease and pitch the ball up and shape it away from Virat Kohli to make that happen. If that does not work, he would resort to his pace i.e. bowl him at 150 kph, which would surely get the Indian great out.
