Yuvraj Singh, former star Bharat all-rounder praised batting talisman Virat Kohli as the ‘best batter of this generation’ across all formats and outlined what makes the 35-year-old unique.
At the ICC Men’s ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, Kohli’s career took a turn as it reached new heights as he set a record for most runs scored and led the run charts. Kohli, who will be featuring for the sixth time in the T20 World Cup tournament, has set his eyes on the trophy.
The star batter deserves to win the World Cup medal more than anyone. After participating in the 2011 World Cup winning campaign, Yuvraj said that Kohli deserved to win another World Cup medal.
‘He has definitely broken all the records in this era. I feel the best batter of this generation in all formats. And I think he is also someone who needs a World Cup Medal. He has one. I’m sure he is not satisfied with one. I think he surely deserves that medal as well’, said Yuvraj.
The T20 World Cup has seen some of Kohli’s most memorable knocks, last two years ago at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where he stunned over 90,000 spectators with a finish like none other against arch-rivals Pakistan.
Virat played one of the most iconic knocks in the format, scoring 82* in just 53 balls, with six fours and four sixes during a tense run-chase of 160 runs when Bharat was 31/4 at one point.
Meanwhile, in the 2016 tournament, Australia took the brunt of Kohli’s stunning brilliance as he displayed his ability to chase targets down. After 161 runs were needed to be chased, Kohli played an incredible innings of 82 off 51 balls to take Bharat semi-finals.
