He pointed out that Virat Kohli has achieved almost everything possible in modern-day cricket, has broken almost every big batting record of this generation, and has proved himself in all three formats. Yuvraj also noted that Kohli’s mindset and hunger to keep improving make him different from others despite his unbelievable performances for India across the formats.
Even after 28,215 international runs across T20I, ODI, and Tests, winning big tournaments, and becoming one of the biggest cricketers in the world, Kohli still plays with the same passion and determination every time he steps onto the field.
Kohli has built one of the greatest careers in cricket history with his unbelievable performances for India across Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. However, he has retired from Test and T20I cricket, and now he aims to play in the ICC World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.
