Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar took to Twitter on October 19 to praise on Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and the team's performance.
Rawalpindi Express lauded Kohli for achieving his 48th ODI century and hailed the Indian team's unstoppable momentum.
Shoaib Akhtar, widely known for his pace during his playing days, has been known for his candid and often critical opinion of cricketing events, particularly those involving arch-rivals India and Pakistan.
However, his recent tweets suggest appreciative stance regarding the Indian cricket team.
Shoaib Akhtar's post read, "No.48 for @imVkohli and another big win for India. This team is unstoppable at this point!"

This unexpected praise follows Shoaib Akhtar's tweet from October 14, in which he congratulated the Indian team for a comprehensive victory while simultaneously encouraging the Pakistani team, saying, "But ThandRakh Pakistan, abhi poora tournament hai aagay, regroup and bounce back."
These tweets suggest a softer and more objective approach from Shoaib Akhtar, emphasizing the need for Pakistani cricketers to regroup and give their best in the upcoming matches.
