  • Leading Edge # 14: Pakistan's Kohli and Rohit

    "In the cricketing world when we talk about world-class talents,aggression,attitude and performances, two names come into mind: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Keeping everything same and just take the performances away and two names come into mind: Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad." Once touted as the next big things, the two players have never lived up to the hype due to their problems on-and-off the field. They have still made it to the list of 20probables for the T20 series against Sri Lanka and might just make the cut, but do they deserve it?

    Listen, as Shanawar Burhan,Ahmed Rizwan,Fatir Naeem and Ali Azhar discuss the issues and what lies ahead for the two "talented" batsmen.
