Re: Virat Kohli…
I am not just talking about Shahzad…Umar too, in early 2010, an indian friend of mine asked me about UA and Virat and by then I have seen very little of Virat and he had seen little more of UA and I told him that right now, Umar seems to be more talented of the two but Virat has all the spark that I look for in a player and great players have and I (back then) told him that in 5 years of time, Virat would end up being a better/polished batsman than UA as Virat’s team/management/captain would utilize his talent and even if he fails a bit, they will persist with him and give him the opportunities and batting spot that he deserves and he would end up being better player than UA…My friend told me that he didnt agree with me as he thought UA has more strokes, better front and back foot attack than Virat…but I kept on insisting what I believed in…we are only about two years into my statement and he is currently gone to India…But I bet when he comes back he will tell that I was right with my assessment.
