"He (Kohli) has got the game to survive anywhere, I think he's got the best technique of anyone in world cricket. Kohli really is the premier batsman in world cricket." - Steve Waugh.
After Kohli's Epic knock of 149 against England in the 1st Test Match of the 2018 series, the whole world was in awe of Kohli's character and improvement after a disastrous series in England in 2014.
Former Aussie World Cup-winning captain and legend Steve Waugh admitted that Kohli is the best batsman and has got the technique to survive and score runs anywhere in the world. Virat Kohli was ranked the No.1 Batsman in Test Cricket by the ICC after this innings, his first time at the top and also the first Indian after Sachin Tendulkar. Successor indeed.

The kind of form he's in, he picked this ball yesterday afternoon. - Harsha Bhogle.
India's own cricket expert and commentator, Harsha Bhogle, is never short of words while praising Virat Kohli. The silly yet legitimate comment came during a period when Kohli was at his peak in 2016. Smashing bowlers in all forms of the game relentlessly.
During that year, Kohli scored 4 IPL Hundreds, bagged the Man of the Tournament award in World T20, and emerged as India's leading run scorer in ODIs as well as the Tests with a heap of centuries.
