The premium batsman Virat Kohli emerged as the leading run-scorer of the ODI World Cup 2023. He had scored 765 runs with three centuries and six fifties in 11 matches.
The legendary cricketer of the West Indies, Brian Lara, said that if his son plays any sport, he will use Indian batter Virat Kohli as an example of commitment and dedication. Virat Kohli had a memorable Cricket World Cup 2023 at home. Despite not winning the trophy and ending as runners-up to the Australian cricket team, the batting of Virat was a delight to the eyes and statisticians alike, as he broke plenty of records. One of these was Virat becoming the first-ever batter to hit 50 ODI centuries.
While praising star India batter Virat Kohli for his performances in the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup at home, Lara said, “I have a son, and I can tell you that if my son has to play any sport, I will be using Kohli’s commitment and dedication to not just add to his strength, but whatever it takes to become a number one sportsman.”
Lara pointed out that many people will dismiss the contribution of Virat during the World Cup as Men in Blue failed to lift the trophy, but the subsidiary of team success is individual success, something Virat achieved in heaps throughout the tournament.
The legendary WI batter said that Virat has changed the “face of cricket” and how one prepares for a game through his discipline, a stand-out trait of the batter.
