Virat Kohli best batsman in the world currently, believes Kumar Sangakkara
Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara believes India skipper Virat Kohli is presently the perfect batsman on this planet.
Sangakkara on Monday participated in an Instagram dwell session with former Zimbabwe pacer Pommie Mbangwa for Cric Mate.
“Virat Kohli,” mentioned Sangakkara when requested about naming the present greatest batsman on this planet.
When he was requested to call the perfect bowler on this planet at current, the previous left-handed batsman mentioned: “I think when it comes to spin, you have to admire Nathan Lyon. What he has done over the last few years, it has been incredible. The way he has bowled, it was not easy for any orthodox bowler coming in the game with his modern-day batsmen. He is incredible, probably worth saying, he is the best spinner”.
“When it comes to a fast bowler, in English conditions, you have to go with a guy like James Anderson, he is exceptional. But you also have to go with guys who can bowl in any conditions, so guys like Mitchell Starc, maybe even Jasprit Bumrah if he can keep his fitness. They are the kinds of bowlers who can challenge the batsmen with the kind of firepower they have,” he added.
During the chat, the present MCC President was requested to select the perfect bowler of all occasions and he named his former teammate Muttiah Muralitharan as greatest spinner and Wasim Akram as greatest quick bowler.
“Fast bowler, definitely Wasim Akram, without a doubt. When it comes to spin bowling, it would definitely be Shane Warne. I, of course, had the luxury of not facing Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas in international cricket, having kept to Murali, I will always say he is the best spinner to ever play the game,” Sangakkara mentioned.
Muralitharan performed 133 Tests and is on the prime spot within the record of main wicket-takers within the longest format of the sport.
