#IndiaInEngland: Who said what about Virat Kohli?
What's the story
Virat Kohli has been ruling the world cricket since the last three years. His performance in England, in the ongoing Test series, has been a testament to his greatness. Kohli smashed 149 in the first innings of the first Test at Edgbaston. Former legendary players Sunil Gavaskar and Kumar Sangakkara, besides several others, have praised the Indian skipper. Let us see who said what.
GOAT
Sanga feels Kohli could emulate Sachin
Kumar Sangakkara feels that Kohli can become the greatest ever Indian batsman. The Lankan legend has always been in awe of Kohli's talent and thinks that the 29-year-old is on the way to match the greatness of Sachin Tendulkar. Sanga also backed that Kohli would keep improving and breaking several records along the way.
Words
Gavaskar too joins Sanga in ushering praise
Gavaskar too wrote that the Indian skipper has conquered the peak and has cemented his place amongst the pantheon of greats of the game. The former India skipper also feels that Kohli is an amazing talent and can get runs even if he wakes up in middle of the night. He criticized the other Indian batsmen and felt they need to step up.
