“You never see Virat Kohli play risky shots, he always looks to play in the ‘V’. He has proper cricketing shots and that is why he’s such a great batter. Kohli is a proper batter and he can play any format of the game be it Tests, T20s or even T10s because of the supreme technique,” Harbhajan said.

He possesses a remarkable skill set. Eight sixes! That was the distinguishing factor between the two centuries.

That’s a significant difference, especially considering it came during a chase. Hats off to him,” Moody said.
