Virat Kohli Or Ben Stokes?: Prominent Commentator Names Player He Would Pay To Watch

It is one innings any cricket fanatics would want to pay to watch, if they could time travel back to last season. Virat Kohli, similarly, makes record-breaking look easy. His cover drives, and flick of the wrist, to hit a maximum are a joy to watch. Ben Stokes and Virat Kohli are among the most exciting players to watch on the cricketing circuit presently.

Prominent English commentator David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd picked a batsmen among the two, he would pay, to watch. He also described his choice further and rated the player ahead of his teammates.

Virat Kohli is the best player to come out of India: David Llyod

David Llyod reckons English all-rounder Ben Stokes is a box-office but he would pick Virat Kohli. Reasoning his choice, Llyod said Virat Kohli, is the best player to come out from India. He is fearless and puts his team first, besides having the knack of winning. Llyod, however, said he would spend money to watch England play.

“Ben Stokes is box office. But I’d go for Virat Kohli. I reckon he is the best player to come out of India. He is fearless and, crucially, I think he always puts his team first. He has to win — for the team.” Lloyd told Sportsmail.

Further, Bumble went on to state that he would want to spend money to watch the England cricket team play. “I’d definitely pay to watch England play as a team,” added Bumble.

Virat Kohli, with 43 ODI centuries, is inches closer to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49. He is arguably the greatest batsman of this generation. The 31-year-old averages above 50 across format and is one most dangerous batsman on the international circuit.
