Have watched cricket for over four decades.. haven’t seen anyone, with possible exception of the great Sir Viv, make shot making look easy.. that can hit the same ball over cover for six or flick it over square leg also for six, makes him unique. The MILLENNIAL MASTER!

Don’t remember the last time I saw a batsman look completely out of sorts, find his touch and then finish off in top form all in the space of 50 balls!

While other cricketers take matches to come back in form, Virat Kohli does it in the same innings. GOAT!
