Off The Field

Kohli Is A Modern Day Great, Says Jonty Rhodes

Written by Vipin Darwade

Jonty Rhodes, former South African cricketer and one of the best fielders the game has ever produced, showered the ultimate praise on Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli. Jonty Rhodes called Virat Kohli a modern day great.

“I am just blown away by his conversion rates and his sheer consistency. He is certainly a modern day great. The sheer determination to keep winning games for India makes him a special cricketer”, he told Sportstar Live.

Kohli scored a fantastic century in the first ODI on Sunday. If Kohli manages to score another 81 runs in the remaining four ODIs against the Windies, he will become the fastest to 10,000 ODI runs in terms of innings.

Kohli is already having a breathtaking 2018 in terms of runs. With 889 ODI runs, Kohli might not be the top run-getter this year but he has taken just 10 matches to reach there. The Indian captain currently sits in fourth place in the ODI scoring charts in 2018.
