"He is the best finisher in the world ever seen"- Aakash Chopra on Virat Kohli ahead of 2025 Champions Trophy final

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra recently heaped praise on Virat Kohli and labeled him the best finisher after his match-winning knock against Australia in the 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal. Speaking on the matter in a video on his YouTube channel, Chopra said (5:15 onwards):

"Isn't he the best finisher on the planet? Virat bats at No. 3 and the finishing job is for Nos. 5 to 7. He didn't go after finishing this time, but he is the chase master. He has scored more than 8000 runs while chasing. He has crossed the 8000-run mark. He is the first person to score more than 1000 runs in ICC knockout history."

He continued:

"When the matter is big, our guy is standing. Kohli's bat roars when there is a mountain of runs to chase and he showed that by doing it once again... Get an AI done, but if someone can break down a run chase better than that, that's our Virat Kohli. He is the best finisher in the world ever seen."
