Srinagar: The rising cricketer of Pakistan Saim Ayub has wished to play alongside batting superstar Virat Kohli in IPL for RCB.
In Nadir Ali’s podcast, upon being asked about his thoughts on IPL and if he wishes to play alongside Virat Kohli.
“The first thought that I could collect when I hear IPL [Indian Premier League] is RCB [Royal Challengers Bangalore]. Most importantly, because Virat Kohli is their captain,” he said
“I am not sure if Virat Kohli is my ideal in terms of his batting, but certainly, I am a huge fan of his cricketing ethics. The career arc that he had from being a youngster till now, when he’s a legend, is commendable, and I really admire that. This attribute counts you as the best athlete in the world. He’s already topping the charts due to his magnificent skills, but skills can be adapted and developed by anyone, I believe. However, the pathway to ethics is really a daunting task which needs to be maintained. So, basically, I am a huge fan of his ethics,” Saim added
Saim Ayub, who represented Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL 8, scored 341 runs in 12 matches with a healthy strike rate of 165.53.
Due to his consistent performances, the selectors have decided to retain him for the upcoming New Zealand T20I series, which is scheduled to start on April 14th.
