South Africa’s young and fearsome speedster, Kagiso Rabada has lauded Indian skipper Virat Kohli naming him the most consistent performer in ODI cricket. Virat Kohli is arguably the best batsman in world cricket at the moment. He is racking up records for fun, and he is likely to reach the summit in this list in coming times.

Kohli is now eighth on the list of the most runs scored by a batsman in international cricket but has a very long career ahead and the kind of form that he has been in, it seems a huge possibility that Kohli will lead this chart too.

When asked to name a cricketer he respects the most and who has pushed him to do his best, the pacer said, “If you look at one-day cricket, I’d say Virat Kohli is the most consistent performer, he is consistent in Test cricket as well. I even like the work of Ben Stokes, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson.”
