Legendary West Indies batter Sir Viv Richards has once again shown admiration for India’s Virat Kohli and lauded him for his attitude and fiery personality.
Considered to be a modern-era legend, Virat Kohli has redefined batting in all three formats of the game, especially excelling in the ODI format. At present too, he averages over 50 in ODIs and T20Is while his Test average is just below 50 at 49.29.
The former India skipper has amassed more than 25000 runs in international cricket so far and has smashed a staggering 76 centuries and 131 fifties.
Ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup tournaments, all eyes are on Virat Kohli, who regained his form in the continental tournament last year after three years of struggle and has once again flourished with the bat.
In a recent Instagram video on the International Cricket Council (ICC), West Indies legend cricketer Sir Viv Richards expressed his thoughts on comparisons with Virat Kohli and his admiration for the Indian star.

Richards went on to say that he is in love with Kohli.
“Character. Pretty much determined, fiery, and tempery as well. And all these little chibis can be attached to Vivian Richards. That’s why I’m in love with such an individual who plays with passion.
“And what could you say? There’s only so many superlatives. Believes that everything’s going to happen. He’s a believer. And I’m a believer as well, so I can see why there’s that particular match,” he added.
