Star batsman for the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli, recently finished 16 years of international cricket with an incredible resume full of records and honors. He has been a mainstay for the national team over the years, and his stats have solidified his status as one of the greatest batters in the annals of contemporary baseball. In a heartfelt homage to Kohli, former Pakistan cricket team player Basit Ali said that while it is simple to point out that Kohli is just 16 years old and has played internationally, young people should take note of how he prepares and handles the highs and lows of such a lengthy career.
“Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Younis Khan, and Javed Miandad, among others, had incredibly long careers and dedicated a great deal of time to their job. Saying that Virat Kohli has been a player for sixteen years is quite simple, Basit Ali stated on his YouTube channel.
But are today’s youth aware of the highs and lows he has experienced? Are they aware of how early he gets up on match days to workout in the gym? In a similar vein, Sachin Tendulkar slept with a bat at his side since he loved cricket so much, Basit Ali continued.
Basit reminded out that Kohli’s genius extends beyond his batting. During the YouTube chat, he stated that Kohli’s intensity is significantly more than that of his teammates.
“Look at how dedicated and hardworking he is. Even if he gets out early, he gives his all on the field. The commotion the crowd creates when the ball is passed to Kohli gives you the impression that he is on the field. “This is the result of 16 years of hard work,” he said.
