Williamson Declares Kohli As The Greatest All-format Player Seen In Last 15 Years
Premier New Zealand: Premier New Zealand batter Kane Williamson lauded talismanic India batter Virat Kohli by calling him the greatest all-format player cricket has witnessed in the last 15 years. He also praised Kohli for overcoming challenges like the intense scrutiny on his performances by a cricket-mad nation like India.
Kohli and Williamson, along with fellow batters - Australia’s Steve Smith and England’s Joe Root, formed the ‘Fab Four’ of cricket’s modern era batting. The quartet dominated the sport with their exhilarating knocks across all formats for over a decade. While Kohli has stepped away from Test and T20Is, Smith has retired from ODIs.
Root and Williamson, meanwhile, haven’t been sureshot starters in T20Is for quite some time now. “Virat is probably the greatest all-format player we have seen for probably in the last 15 years, and (he) has his own challenges. In an absolutely cricket-obsessed country, he has been at the top of that tree.”
