Former Australian left-arm spinner Brad Hogg has labelled former Indian captain Virat Kohli as the “greatest cricketer” he has seen at the international level.
The 33-year-old Virat Kohli is regarded as one of the finest modern-day batters and he is equally dominant across all three formats of the game.
Virat Kohli is set to play his 100th Test match in the first Test match of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, which is scheduled to commence at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh, from Friday, March 4.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Brad Hogg drew comparisons between the legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who many believe is the greatest player in the history of cricket, and batting maestro Virat Kohli. He asserted:
“For me, they (Sachin and Virat) have made the same amount of hundreds in one-day cricket and Tests, but Kohli has played 20 more games than Sachin at that time and has got a few more fifties as well.”
“Kohli has also throughout his career played 200 more first-class games and that includes the IPL games, So he has played a lot more games than Sachin did.
“He didn’t have the time to rejuvenate his batteries, He was leading India in all three formats. He was leading RCB. So it just shows the toughness he had to control his emotions. For me, Virat Kohli is probably the greatest cricketer that I have seen at the international level.“
Virat Kohli took India to another level – Brad Hogg
Former Australian cricketer was highly impressed with Kohli’s performance as a captain of the India National Cricket Team. He opined that Kohli during his tenure as an Indian captain took the team to “another level” and his win percentage as skipper tells his success story.
“What Virat Kohli brought to the Indian line-up as a leader was astronomical. The fitness regimes were non-negotiable.
“MS Dhoni had already taken India to a new level, but Kohli took India to another level and the win percentages with him leading the team far outweigh any other skipper that has led India.”
