New Delhi. The list of Virat Kohli’s fans is long. People appreciate his aggressive game and fitness. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen said on Tuesday that Virat Kohli, who gave utmost importance to fitness, made his fellow cricketers excellent athletes. Also, credit for the incredible change in Indian cricket was given to this former captain.
Pietersen had earlier said that regardless of his performance, Kohli should be selected in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup to be held in America and West Indies for the good of the game. Kohli, who played an important role in helping RCB win against Punjab Kings in the IPL on Monday, had then said that he still has the ability to perform well in the shorter format. They should not be seen merely as promoting the game globally.
After Kohli’s reaction, Pietersen said, “One thing that everyone will remember and that will be their best memories as a player is finishing the innings and being one of the greatest finishers of all time. One thing he did for Indian cricket was to transform Indian cricketers into excellent athletes and in doing so he did not just talk but demonstrated it.
Talking about Kohli’s commitment to the team, Pietersen said, “When he is running between the wickets, he has complete commitment, energy and desire to be the best and he is the best.”
