Virat Kohli: With 'chase master' Virat Kohli once again setting up a famous victory for India with a valiant 84, handing his team a comfortable four-wicket win in uncomfortable conditions in Dubai, Australia great Michael Clarke hailed the brilliance on display and labelled him as the greatest ODI cricketer of all-time.
Kohli arrived at the crease with the highest potential chase against Australia in ICC knockouts ahead of him and closed the gap to victory with brilliant stroke play and intelligent strike rotation, with only five boundaries to his name at the end, showcasing his ability to find runs on a difficult surface.
"Once again, he assessed the conditions brilliantly. A class player, he knew exactly what his team needed and how to put them in a position to win the game. We saw the same in his century against Pakistan. Virat has every shot in the book—there's no questioning his ability to find boundaries. He is, in my opinion, the greatest one-day cricketer of all time, and he continues to prove it on the biggest stage, under the highest pressure. He knows what to do, and he delivers when it matters most,” said Clarke to Jio Hotstar
