“Greatest T20 Batter of All Time”: Indian Star Wicket Keeper Hails Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli, or the King of cricket as he is called by his fans, has always been critics’ favorite because of his match-winning performances, clutch moments and career stats and records. No one gets tired of talking about Virat Kohli, and recently his old teammate and current IPL franchise mentor, Dinesh Karthik, also had something good to say about Kohli while ranking his Top 5 batters in T20 cricket.

” Let me start With my favorite and I think it’s fare to say, he has been the greatest T20 batter of all time now, Virat Kohli. What he has established over 20 years in international cricket and IPL, there’s nobody even close to him, so I will start with Virat Kohli; that’s a no brainer there,” Said Dinesh Karthik with Cricbuzz

Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik share a quite friendly bond with each other. From spending time in the dressing room of the Indian team to Dinesh Karthik joining Royal Challengers Bangalore as a player, and then later joining the core team as the batting coach and mentor of the team. Spending a lot of time during practices and team discussions, Karthik has closely watched Virat’s work on T20s and feels he is the greatest in the format.
