Former England captain Kevin Pietersen shared his thoughts on the legacy of legendary Indian cricketer Virat Kohli in a fiery comment, highlighting the former captain’s standing as one of the sport’s greatest finishers. For the past fifteen years and counting, Virat Kohli has been an asset to Indian cricket. Considered by many to be one of the greatest batters of all time, Kohli led India to multiple incredible victories, solidifying his unchallenged dominance in the cricket world.
Kohli getting close to the end
That being said, the former captain of India is getting close to hanging up his boots although he still has a few years left in him to play cricket. Even though he is totally committed, age will eventually catch up with him. At the end of his career, Virat Kohli will undoubtedly leave an unparalleled legacy in Indian cricket. Kevin Pietersen, a former England captain, has a distinct opinion about how Kohli’s legacy would develop.
Greatest finisher: Pietersen
During the IPL 2024 match between RCB and PBKS, Kevin Pietersen expressed his opinion on air, saying that when Kohli retires from the game, people will remember him as the best finisher in history rather than as a strong batter.
“Whenever Virat Kohli retires, people will look up to him and say he was the greatest finisher,” Kevin Pietersen said during IPL.
Kevin Pietersen is not totally wrong in his opinion. The most effective and deadly version of Kohli has always been unlocked during noteworthy chases, earning him the moniker “chase master”.
