Mohammad Yousuf picks Virat Kohli as the top batsman at the moment
From the start of his career Virat Kohli has been a thorn in the flesh of Pakistan’s arch rivals. Kohli has smashed 183 runs in just his fourth ODI innings against his main competitors, and this result is his highest individual score in 50-over cricket until today. After then Kohli has been the most prolific run getter in this generation’s ODIs and if he keeps the performance, he might smash his mentor Sachin Tendulkar’s world record, and this is unimaginable to a lot of people.
The game’s legends have praised Kohli for his consistency performance and the cricketers across the border envy him. Lately, former Pakistan middle-order giant Mohammad Yousuf joined the rising chorus about Kohli’s enormity .
Yousuf was to identify Kohli by a fan during a live interview with fans on Twitter and the Pakistani great wrote, “No 1 at the moment. Best player.”
Kohli averages nearly 60 in ODIs, and in Test cricket also has a respectable score of over 53. He is also closing in the 50-over format on Tendulkar’s most-centuries world record.
If you count his number in T20Is then Kohli has already surpassed the threshold of 20,000 runs in international cricket. Kohli along with Australia’s Steve Smith, Joe Root from England, and Kane Williamson from New Zealand are a part of the international cricket’s fab four.
His consistency and willingness to win matches in all forms for his team places him one step above the rest. His success with the bat has improved since he took over a captain’s job and Indian cricket fans would adore to see him lead the team to several more significant wins.
