Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding feels India captain Virat Kohli is an extremely good batsman, but for him to enter the category of cricket greats he will have to score runs in England.
Holding described Kohli as one of the top three batsmen in the world at the moment along with England’s Joe Root and Australia’s Steve Smith.
According to Holding, however, great batsmen score runs everywhere and Kohli is yet to do so.
“Virat Kohli is a fantastic batsman. I was asked to name three top cricketers and I included Kohli in that list.
He is a very very good player. When I see him score runs in England, I would call him a great player.
I like people who score runs everywhere. He is an extremely good player,” Holding told media.
Holding believes Kohli is emotional about is cricket and needs to further improve his captaincy.
