Legendary Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram has thrown his weight of support behind former Indian skipper Virat Kohli, stating some of the criticism that the 33-year-old is facing is unnecessary.

Speaking to the media during a press-conference ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup, the former left-arm seamer hailed Kohli as an all-format great and he believes that it's just a matter of time before the Indian cricketer regains his form.

Akram also called out the negative discourse against Kohli on social media and from a section of media, stating that it's completely necessary.
