"The first 50 runs Kohli made yesterday, that wasn't the real Virat Kohli. I was seeing his real self in patches during this Asia Cup. But, I saw the real Virat Kohli when he scored the last 50 of his innings. When he scored his hundred, it felt like Virat Kohli was scoring at will and he was getting his form back,” Akhtar said on his YouTube channel.
"Why the 29 centuries matter to me is because I feel he is the greatest batter of all time. Those 29 centuries that are left for him will be difficult. It took him sometime to get to his 71st one. But now he won't stop."
India will next play white-ball series against Australia and South Africa. Also, the team will look at these fixtures as preparation for T20 World Cup.
