Former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum praised Indian batting star Virat Kohli, who is in the form of his life.
"Yeah, definitely he is among the current top three (batsmen). I think he has been for a number of years now," McCullum told reporters on Wednesday. "With what he does in Tests and one-day cricket, he also had a fantastic IPL this year as well. His ability to be consistent in what is quite an inconsistent game, is a mark of how world class he is. And he is just 27. I think we should just enjoy the fact that we have got one of the geniuses at work," said McCullum.
Considering that Kohli is amassing runs across formats, comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar are inevitable.
"I think we should just enjoy the guy who is at the top of his game and is entertaining crowds all around the world. I think comparisons are so difficult in this game, there are different conditions, different eras, different circumstances but we should not fail to recognise that we have got an incredibly good player who is operating on the world stage at the moment," said the inspirational leader, who took New Zealand to their maiden World Cup final in 2015.
McCullum went on to say it that can only be good for the Indian team if MS Dhoni and Kohli bat together more often, just like they did in Mohali on Sunday.
"You have got two very experienced cricketers who are very calm under pressure and know to win games. Chasing scores is not easy and they understand the art of it. The other teams will hope that they don't bat together too often but for India's sake, you are enjoying the fact that two of your leaders are performing in pressure situations."
