Courtney Walsh, a legendary fast bowler for the West Indies, has said that Virat Kohli is one of the best batters of all time. Walsh said that Kohli was only second to Sachin Tendulkar in terms of how great an Indian cricket player they were. Virat Kohli has reached a big milestone in his long and successful career. On July 20, 2023, in Port of Spain, Trinidad, he played his 500th international match, which was the second Test against the West Indies.
India scored 288-4 on the first day of the historic Test at the Queen’s Park Oval on Thursday, with Kohli hitting 87 runs without being out. India was in trouble after losing 4 wickets in the second session. Rohit Sharma (80) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (57) were among those who got out. Kohli got them out of it. Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja batted together for 106 runs without being out.
I’d put him right behind Sachin – Walsh
Walsh said on GeoCinema that I would put him right next to Sachin because he is a great Indian. Sachin is one of the best players I’ve ever watched and competed against. Walsh said that Virat cares about keeping his wicket. So he is definitely one of the four or five best cricket players I have ever seen.
Walsh remembered what he had said to Kohli
Walsh talked about talks he had with Virat Kohli when he was the West Indies selector. He said he was excited to learn from the game’s legends. He loves the game and wants to make a name for himself in it. I remember talking to him when he was captain of the West Indies and I was on the team’s selection committee. He wants to do well. He was ready to get help from anyone who could give it. I wasn’t shocked by what he did.
The amazing numbers of Virat
This is Kohli’s 500th match for his country. India and West Indies are playing this 100th Test match at the same time. The former captain will try to improve on his past efforts in his 111th Test for India. Over 9500 runs in 111 Tests, 12898 runs in 274 ODIs, and 4008 runs in 115 T20Is is an amazing number. These numbers show not only how consistent he is, but also how well he can change to different situations and formats.
