Australian Test team captain Tim Paine said that Indian captain Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world and he attacks the opposing team in the same way. Referring to the Indian team's tour of Australia in 2018-19, he said that he will always 'remember' the 'competitive attitude' of the Indian captain.
The 36-year-old wicket-keeper batsman said in former veteran Adam Gilchrist's podcast 'Gilly and Goes', "For Virat Kohli, I have said many times that he is the type of player you would love to have in your team. He is competitive. "He is the best batsman in the world." He added, "It is challenging to play against him (Kohli) and he does not get caught up in your tricks. Because he is very good and competitive in the game."
Under Kohli's leadership, India defeated Australia for the first time in 2018-19 in a Test series on its territory. India had won the Border-Gavaskar series 2–1, and a verbal war between the two captains was also witnessed several times during the entire series. Paine said, "Yes, there were differences with him four years ago. He is the kind of player I will always remember."
Significantly, Virat Kohli is the batsman who has scored the most runs in ODIs among the batsmen of the present time. At the same time, he is the third highest run-scorer batsman among the current cricketers in Tests. He has 12169 names in ODIs and 7490 runs in Tests. King Kohli has scored 70 centuries in international cricket so far. Looking at Kohli's talent, many current and former cricketers from around the world have praised him.
