In the eighties, it was Viv Richards, and then you had Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar who stood out. Virat Kohli is one of the most complete players I\u2019ve seen. He\u2019s so versatile; he plays on both feet, and on all sides of the field,\u2019\u2019 said the cricketer-turned-politician in an interview to Hindustan Times.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most famous Kolhi innings was when he drove India to victory against Pakistan in the World T20 group stage earlier this year at Eden Garden\u2019s. Imran Khan was present there in the stands during the high-voltage encounter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very painful watching Pakistan lose, but Kohli played a very good game. I look at batsmen from a bowler\u2019s point of view and I think of how to get them out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust look at how Kohli plays in difficult situations. He\u2019s better than anyone. I\u2019d say he\u2019s the best internationally, today. You can back him to play any match,\u201d said Khan.<\/p>\n<p>The former all-rounder also rated Kohli\u2019s temperament better than that of his compatriot Sachin Tendulkar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApart from his talent and technique, he has a very good temperament. His temperament is better than Sachin\u2019s. Kohli performs at the most difficult of opportunities, which Sachin sometimes wasn\u2019t able to.\u201d added Khan.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s legendary fast bowler and the World Cup winning captain Imran Khan on Tuesday rated India\u2019s ace batsman Virat Kohli as one of the best in the world, even better than his compatriot Sachin Tendulkar when it comes to performing on the difficult moments.
