“Virat Kohli faced tough times before the World Cup, but credit goes to the support staff and those who stood by him. He has bounced back remarkably, proving that class is permanent. Kohli is a true asset to the game of cricket.”
Viv also shed light on the comparison between him and Virat, “Over the years, many people have compared Virat Kohli and me, mainly due to our shared intensity on the field. I adore Virat’s passion. Even when he is fielding at long-on or long-off, he is always involved in the game, and if one of his bowlers hits the pad, he is quick to appeal. I appreciate individuals like him who are always in the game.”
