Wasim Says He Would Have Sledged To Unsettle Kohli

While explaining why sledging should work on Kohli and not Sachin the legendary pacer said, “He [Virat] is the modern great but compared to Sachin, these are two different players altogether. Both are aggressive but of varying nature….As a bowler you look at a batsman’s body language, if I sledged Tendulkar he would have become more determined because he was aggressive but calm in nature.”

Pakistan’s most successful ODI bowler further said, “On the other hand, if I did the same to Kohli, he might get angry and try to attack me which gives me a good chance to take his wicket.”
