Virat Kohli vs Rohit Sharma! Mohammed Shami answers who’s the best and who’s the dangerous

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the two massive pillars of the Indian Cricket Team. Both the senior batters have driven the Indian team to new heights under their regimes. While Rohit Sharma is the current skipper of Team India, Virat Kohli was the previous captain who led the team for many years.

Indian ace pacer Mohammed Shami has revealed who is the best batsman and dangerous batsman among both. Mohammed Shami is not part of the ongoing IND vs ENG Test series due to an injury. However, he might make it to the squad for the forthcoming three games.

Last month, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returned to the T20I format during the IND vs AFG series. Notably, both of them skipped the shortest format last year to focus on longer formats. However, their return to T20Is means that they can be part of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 later this year as well.

“Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world. Virat has just broken a lot of records. I feel Virat is the best and Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world”, said Shami, who holds the record for best bowling figures for India in ODIs.
