The former England skipper, Nasser Hussain has backed Virat Kohli to become the greatest batsman ever.

It is well known the Indian captain is among the best batsmen in the world. It is also noted that Virat Kohli is one of the best chasers in the white ball form.

The Indian skipper has scored 35 ODI hundreds thus far. Nasser Hussain also added he believes Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest-ever batsman.

Though, Hussain said Virat Kohli is also not far behind. Virat Kohli has been able to match Sachin Tendulkar’s accomplishments. In fact, Kohli has done even a better job than the former Indian legend.

Meanwhile, it won’t be fair to compare players of different generations. Virat Kohli has been a chase master for the Indian team, and Hussain is all impressed with his consistency.

Nasser Hussain said while talking to India Today,

“I think Kohli is magnificent in a run chase; I have to say. He has won so many matches for India. With Sachin, there were others to win the games with fab five, Laxman, Dravid, Ganguly, Sehwag and him”.

Virat Kohli has played with a lot of consistency, especially in the white ball form. The Indian captain has broken majorly all the records in the books.

Kohli has already made it to the list of the great batsman. There is no doubt that the Indian captain might well end his career as the greatest, as predicted by Nasser.

Cricket is my first love. I want to be a wordsmith. I want to weave magic with my words.
