Legendary Windies batsman Brian Lara lavished praise on Virat Kohli and his passion for the game, saying the Indian skipper ‘doesn’t seem to shy away from anything’.
Kohli recently surpassed the 10,000-run mark in ODI cricket and became the first Indian to score three consecutive hundreds in ODIs.
“Virat has been ticking all the boxes. If you look at his fitness level, he never seems to be in fatigue at any point of his innings,” said Lara at an event in Bengaluru on Saturday, November 3.
“Your technique is going to adapt to any condition if your mental strength is strong. I saw him bat against a couple of West Indies bowlers who were bowling around the 140s and he is good. I believe that if he doesn’t have a great tour, then it doesn’t mean he won’t have a great career.
“He is mentally strong. This is how I went about my career. I had a mental strength that was different from others and I wanted to succeed under any condition.”
