Legendary Australia skipper Ricky Ponting heaped huge praise on Indian batting maverick Virat Kohli and called him the best white-ball cricketer he has ever seen. Kohli is one of the biggest names in world cricket at the moment as he has been scoring consistently in all three formats of the game in the past decade. With 71 international centuries, Kohli is tied with Ponting and just behind legendary Sachin Tendulkar (100) in the tally of most tons in international cricket across formats.
During the warm-up match between India and Australia, Ponting hailed Kohli in the commentary box and said that his records in ODI cricket are unbelievable.
“He has led his team really well. The win in Australia in the Test series in Australia is amazing. Not sure I’ve seen a better white-ball cricketer ever. What he does in One-Day International cricket is unbelievable. His records are amazing,” said Ponting from the commentary box.
Recently, he became the first Indian batter to breach the 11,000 runs mark in T20 cricket. He is the fourth batter in world cricket to achieve the massive feat as West Indies legend Chris Gayle is at the top of the tally followed by Kieron Pollard and Shoaib Malik.
