Virat Kohli is rewriting record books in international cricket. The Indian skipper led India to maiden Test series win in Australia and even defeated the hosts in one-day internationals. He was not finished with this and scripted Men in Blue’s triumph in one day internationals in New Zealand.
He won all the major ICC awards and was the best player across formats in 2018. Following Virat’s sublime form, Kumar Sangakkara has lauded the Indian skipper and claimed he is destined for greatness.
“Everything about Virat’s game stands out. I think he is head and shoulders above anyone else in world cricket today,” Sangakkara told a news channel.
“And I think going forward, he will be one of the greatest ever cricketers, if not the greatest ever,” he added.
He is mighty impressed with the way Virat has amassed runs in Tests and limited overs cricket without changing his basic game.
“He has this incredible knack of scoring runs and has a very, very solid method that he believes in…” said the former Sri Lanka captain.
“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… it’s the overall aspect of both the person and how he has sorted his batting and his attitude.”
