Since his international debut in 2008, Virat Kohli has not only evolved as one of the finest strikers, but also one of the successful Indian skippers. He has earned numerous accolades in his career so far and he definitely has a long way to go.
Meanwhile, former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara believes that he could be one of the greatest ever cricketers.
“Everything about Virat’s game stands out. I think he is head and shoulders above anyone else in world cricket today. And I think going forward, he will be one of the greatest ever cricketers, if not the greatest ever,” Sangakkara told India Today.
Sangakkara added that Kohli is a very passionate guy who has an incredible knack of scoring runs.
“He has this incredible knack of scoring runs and has a very very solid method that he believes in and is very repeatable and if you see the tempo which he bats with, it hardly changes. He does read the situation very well. He is a very passionate guy, you see that in his expressions on the field so I think it’s not just one aspect, it’s the overall aspect of both the person and how he has sorted his batting and his attitude,” Sangakkara said.
Virat Kohli will be back for Australia’s tour of India, which starts on February 24.
