Brook revealed his choice by showering immense praise on Kohli, highlighting his ability to construct innings and dominate the game. The young English batter marvelled at Kohli’s precision in accumulating runs, whether through powerful shots or swift runs between the wickets. He also expressed his admiration for Kohli’s cricketing prowess, emphasizing that watching some of Kohli’s innings was nothing short of ridiculous.
“Virat Kohli is the greatest ever ODI cricketer now. The way he went about it and the way runs in between the wickets – any little thing he is just the best in the world, you watch him construct his innings. To watch some of the innings he played was ridiculous,” said Brook.

A cricketing icon in his own right, Virat recently took the world by storm with a series of record-breaking performances. Surpassing legendary Sachin Tendulkar, Kohli secured the title of the batter with the most centuries in ODI cricket.
