After Michael Vaughan, Michael Clarke Hails Virat Kohli as the Best ODI Player of All-Times

Shortly after former English captain Michael Vaughan tagged India’s ton machine, Virat Kohli as the greatest ODI player of all-times, former Australian captain Michael Clarke followed the footsteps of the English star to hail Virat Kohli as the best ODI player ever.

Praises and adulations started to pour in for India’s run machine, who is on a mission to topple all existing records in the sport and create some of his own.

After scoring magnificent tons in Centurion and Durban during the South African tour, there was no shortage of appetite for scoring yet another ton, as he single-handedly took India to a match-winning score of 303 at Newlands, Cape Town with the help of his mammoth 160*.

It was a trademark Virat Kohli inning, as he looked to play risk-free grounded strokes throughout his innings. Kohli came into the equation in just the second over of the match and finished the job for India with his unbeaten knock, to exhibit incredible fitness and determination.

Out of the 160 runs, he scored only 60 runs came off boundaries (12×4, 2×6), while the others came through singles and doubles.

His first aerial shot came during the last ten overs of the Indian inning which essentially directed towards minimising any chances to the opposition. Apart from treating the viewers with an innings from a by-gone era, Kohli went on to break several Indian and international records.

VK overtook Ganguly in the tally of ODI tons, as the captain of Indian team. Furthermore, he went on to pass Hashim Amla and Mahela Jayawardena in their score of international tons. Looking at all these feats in a single day, Michael Clarke took to Twitter to acknowledge the modern master of the game.

Here’s the Tweet:
