During the U1♊9 World Cup of 2008, where star batsman Virat Kohli rose to prominence, the Delhi-lad used to name Protea batsman Herschelle Gibbs as his favo🎶urite, before walking into bat in the introductory snippet.
However, life came back to a full circle for Kohli as the retired South African batsman now named him as his all-time favourite Indian batsman, more than a decade later. A fan on Twitter asked Gibbs about his favourite Indian batsman of the bygone era as well as the current times. Gibbs was quick to name India’s all-format skipper as his all-time favourite batsman.
The words purple-patch or form do not quite ap🦩ply for Kohli sheerly due to the u💫nparalleled consistency displayed by the master batsman in recent years.
There seldom is an instance when the batsman takes guard and does not topple records. With the recent 5-nil drubbing in New Zealand, Kohli brought up his 10th bilateral T20I series win leading the side, mo𒉰st by any skipper after 15 T20I series.
With as many as 70 intern𒉰ational tons to his tally, Kohli is all set to surpass Sachin Tendulkar in the tally. Additionally, with almost 22,000 international runs already, King Kohli, in all probabiಞlity, will go on to be leading run-scorer of all time.
Yet another unique feature of Kohli’s masterclass is boasting an average of over 50 in all three formats of the game, highlighting h🀅is greatness, creating a cusp between him and his peers.
Also, the other facet to his game is that Virat proved to be one of the greatest ambassadors of the game, with his beಌnevolent ge꧋stures, on and off the field.
