Former South African captain Faf du Plessis showered rich praise on India’s batting superstar Virat Kohli, who has been in stunning form with the bat at the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Du Plessis said Kohli is the best chaser in the history of cricket. The RCB captain further said that he’s never seen anyone with a stronger mindset than the former Indian captain, and he is a great inspiration for all players, especially for always striving for greatness.
Faf du Plessis was quoted as saying by Star Sports: “Virat Kohli is the best chaser in cricket history. The standout qualities of Virat Kohli are his unwavering hunger and unmatched competitiveness to constantly strive for excellence in the game.”
He added, “I have never witnessed anyone with a stronger mindset than him. He is always on, always striving for greatness, and that is incredibly inspiring for everyone.”
Notably, Kohli is the fourth leading run scorer in the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023, only behind South African opener Quinton de Kock (431 runs), David Warner (413), and Aiden Markram (356). The right-hander has so far amassed 354 runs in the five games of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023.
Kohli, who is only behind Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, and Kumar Sangakkara on the list of the all-time highest ODI run-getters, will be seen in action against England on October 29 in Lucknow.
