No doubt Virat kohli is the king of cricket. We grew in a time when players like Brian Lara, Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar ruled, but Kohli has changed the game. The moment he accepted his maiden call up into the national squad, Team India became his second home. His relentless hunger made it possible for him to play 543 matches, across ODI, Test and T20I formats. His talent helped him break Sachin Tendulkar’s most ODI Century record by setting new boundaries for cricket greatness.
In addition to the great stats which he 27324 runs at an average of 54, 254 the thing which amazed me the most is his consistency in the good times also the bad times.
That is just one international tournament where his talent could really shine. This may have set a new yardstick in World Cup tournaments because he might want to be better than his idol after he scored an amazing 673 runs in the IPL, expressing the entire talent with which he was associated. Kohli, all by himself said for cricket mentees, convinced that indeed records could be broken-he said so before that most legendary Test average of 99.94 held by Don.
There is no longer a generation gap when it comes to fans of his batting. There are some old folks who grew up seeing the likes of Dhoni and Richards when they started supporting the game back in the ’90s, and there are the new ones who align themselves with Kohli. So the brilliance of the game played before the modern age and the success enjoyed in the modern age continued seamlessly with whatever works were done in person by Kohli.
Who is the King of Cricket?
As we discussed above , players need many qualities to achieve the king title in cricket. But receiving this legendary title is very difficult. So whenever the cricket king title is discussed two names in the modern cricket arise they are Virat Kohli and Babar Azam.
