Superstar Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is often compared to Sachin Tendulkar due to his batting masterclass. Australian skipper Pat Cummins has his pick between the two players. 

Former Zimbabwe captain Andy Flower has stated that the Indian captain is ‘incredibly skillful and hungry for runs’ while the Australian batting mainstay has done wonders in the longest format of the game.

Jhye Richardson, who has played six of his 13 ODIs against India and dismissed Virat Kohli as many as four times, said he felt Kohli wanted to get on top of him when he was playing against him in India.

England spinner says Pakistan's limited overs skipper is in better form .

“My overall favourite in Pakistan is Saeed (Anwar) bhai, but if you talk about this era , then it is Virat Kohli. There is no match to him in this era,” Amir said.

Kohli is constantly rated as the best batsman in the world because of his adaptability to different situations and different formats.

Former Windies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul hailed Virat Kohli as the best batsman in the world and praised the Indian for all the hard work he has put in. Chanderpaul believes that the Windies has a strong case in the upcoming T20 World Cup but advised them to take nothing for granted.

"I think I'll leave Steve Smith to be [picked] in the other side. Virat has been my friend. I'd pick Virat ,'' Tendulkar said with a smile as he stopped via a soggy SCG before travelling to Melbourne for Sunday's Bushfire Cricket Bash.

India vs Australia: Though Steve Smith finished the 3-match ODI series as the highest run-scorer, according to Michael Vaughan, Virat Kohli remains to be the best batsman in all formats of the game.
