"No shame in being beaten by a genius, Virat Kohli is a freak." - Micheal Vaughan.
After England lost the opening ODI of the 2017 series in India, Micheal Vaughan showered heaps of praise on Virat Kohli, who he terms as a genius.
The former English Skipper, who is pretty open about his cricketing views on Twitter also once tweeted "Virat Kohli is becoming a Wizard... Love watching him Bat" in 2013 after Kohli helped India to chase down a record total against Australia in an ODI.

"The sandstorm from Sachin at Sharjah and the hailstorm from Kohli in Mohali should be written in the same paragraph." - Ravi Ashwin.
In what is said to be Virat Kohli's finest International T20 Innings, the Chase Master played out special and well planned innings of 82* off 51 balls to win the match against Australia. This was a Do-or-die match for both the teams and India won it to reach the Semi-Finals of the ICC World T20 2016.
For teammate Ashwin, the innings was so special that he said it was on par with Sachin Tendulkar's ultimate knocks at Sharjah in the summer of 1998, against Australia.
