MUMBAI: Following the outstanding knock at the second ODI between England and India, Virat Kohli has been showered with compliments from both team mates and from around the world. The most prominent comment has been from South African cricket player Jonty Rhodes, who thinks that Virat has the ability and caliber that can match the iconic batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
"Kohli is only 22 but he has already shown his potential with the bat. He has shown that he can be a superstar," Rhodes told reporters on the sidelines of the launch of his new range of nutritional supplements under ESN (Evolution Sports Nutrition)."His conversion rate from fifties to hundreds in ODIs is amazing. Once he gets a fifty, he is a difficult batsman to dismiss. With regards to the stats and the number of runs scored, he has shown that he can compete with the records of the likes of Sachin Tendulkar in the long run.
"Kohli is expected to play a big role in India's success in the future. He is a fine cricketer and a fine athlete. He is a complete all-rounder," he added.
Kohli has scored 2,496 runs in 66 ODIs at an average of 45.38 with the help of seven centuries and 16 fifties.
