West Indies legend Courtney Walsh showered the India star Virat Kohli with towering praise comparing him to the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Pakistan great Javed Miandad.
Courtney Walsh told JioCinema –
“Well, as an Indian great, I would rate him just behind Sachin. Sachin is one of the greatest I have seen and played against.
“Brian Lara, Viv Richards, I will put them up from a West Indian point of view. Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh. Two gentleman I played when I was a youngster.
“There are also Graham Gooch from England and Javed Miandad, against whom I probably did not as much games, but the value they put on their wickets reminded me of Virat Kohli as well.
“He doesn’t want to go. So I will definitely have him in my top 4, top 5 greatest cricketers I have seen.
