Two-time World Cup winner hails Virat Kohli

With the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 reaching its business end, all eyes are on Team India as they look to come out as invincible champions. The Men in Blue are three victories away from becoming the first side since Ricky Ponting's Australia of 2003 and 2007 to win the World Cup without incurring a loss in the entire tournament. Sir Viv Richards heaped praise on Virat Kohli for becoming the pillar of excellence for Team India. "I am a huge fan of Virat, I have been for a long time, and he continues to show why he has to go down as one of the all-time greats, right up there with the likes of the great Sachin," Richards said. "Virat will have been through some tough times before this World Cup and some folks were even brave enough to call for his head," he further added. Richards also paid heed to Kohli's exceptional return to form and gave props to his support system for always backing him.
