“He makes things look so easy”: Former Indian star’s massive praise for Kohli
Former Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla has lauded Virat Kohli's exceptional batting prowess following RCB’s commanding nine-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. Kohli's unbeaten 62 guided RCB to a decisive chase, showcasing his ability to lead the chase. Kohli’s opening partner, Phil Salt, also smacked 65 off 33 to set up RCB’s chase.
"That's how he is, isn't it? And that's why we put him at the top of the list of white-ball cricketers. Just because of this reason. When he goes out there, he makes things look so easy,” Chawla said on ESPNcricinfo's TimeOut.
”This was a perfect platform for Virat Kohli. He is getting runs this season. He has started so well. And when you are chasing 173-odd runs and you get that kind of a start with Phil Salt doing what he does best, you know that Virat Kohli will go not out for sure."
Wasim Jaffer also praised Kohli's skill in high-stakes situations, asserting that Kohli has got game for all situations. During the chase, Kohli also notched up his 100th T20 fifty.
"He has got a game for all situations. Today we saw him step out and hit sixes. Sometimes, we didn't see that before. But now he does that, he uses the slog sweep as well."
"He is a master. He has got 100-plus fifties in T20s also. Hell of a numbers. I don't think we should be talking about him, he is such a great player."
