    "editor1": "<p><strong>Abu Dhabi, Nov 20:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Explosive West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has showered praise on Virat Kohli, saying the Indian skipper is a tremendous player who needs at times five-ten words to be described him as a player.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He (Virat) is a tremendous player. Sometimes, you may have to put five-ten words together to actually describe him as a player. He is such a determined guy,&quot; Russell told IANS on the sidelines of the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 league.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Virat is a true champion. I just hope that he can keep entertaining the fans. He has been performing well in Test cricket, ODIs and T20I cricket. He is a proper all-round player,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The big-hitting Windies all-rounder further said that Kohli&#39;s technique is a lot more classical than his.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Virat&#39;s technique is a lot different from mine. It&#39;s more classical than mine. I am more awkward batter where my technique is not that smooth,&quot; Russell said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;My technique is all about power and brute force. I try to hit the ball as hard as possible off every delivery I face,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 31-year-old further admitted that going into next year&#39;s World T20, West Indies will be under pressure as they are the defending champions. &quot;A lot of pressure will be there on us. That&#39;s why we are trying to play as a group and win as many series as we can from now onwards.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We need to start playing some proper cricket. I hope that we can come and defend our title,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Windies all-rounder also spoke about the T10 format and believes that it is the way for the promotion and expansion of the game in future.<\/p>\r\n",
