Former West Indies captain Alvin Kallicharran has spoken highly of Kohli and believes the Indian run machine is as ruthless as Windies great Sir Vivian Richards.
“The attitude is strong in both. I am one person who wouldn’t like to compare players. But Kohli’s attitude is as ruthless as Viv’s was,” Kallicharan told.
Kallicharan was all praise for Kohli’s hunger for runs and dubbed him a phenomenon.
“Kohli seems to have some of those qualities. He is a successful captain. As a batsman, he is a phenomenon. Always hungry. His consistency is tremendous,” said the former Windies skipper.
“He (Kohli) looks like a very determined chap. The determination means you can make your own decisions. I don’t think India would ever have a captain like that. Except perhaps Kapil Dev.
Kapil used to take decisions on his own and he was an exciting cricketer. Kohli now has brought a new brand of captaincy.
