Virat Kohli

[Jack Torrance]

Do you think root would score 22 hundreds and 20 50s in his next 95 games???

Some going that

Well his form in the one day stuff is pretty excellent last series showed how good he is. Certainly wouldn't say Root is nowhere near as good as him

Their records suggest that there is quite a difference between them imo mind

Test level? I think root is a nailed on cert for 20 X 50s in the next 95 games

I think he would convert at least 15 in 95 games, a possible 190 innings

[Voice of fair play]

Just me who's warmed a little to this guy? Doesn't make excuses or sulk after a defeat, went against the BCCI's wishes to do an interview with Aggers after losing the first Test, and listening to Tuffers and Vaughan the other night, everyone was saying how engaged he is.

Don't get me wrong, he can be arrogant as fuck, but he has the ability to back it up.

Bottom line if he was English we would love him.

He is ultra competitive which as long is done in the right way which imo he does, that is to be admired.

I have nothing but massive respect for him

Everybody who's played with him - including Morgan - say he's the nicest, most humble guy you could ever meet. Plays the game with a bit of passion and fight but leaves it on the pitch (mostly, some good interviews in Australia), I've never had a problem with him.

And that’s what all top sportsman should be like, nothing wrong with playing the game hard, as long as you accept defeat with good grace and there is nothing to suggest Kohli does anything else but that!
