Pakistan’s ‘Asian Bradman’ praises Virat Kohli and company

Pakistan batting legend and former captain Zaheer Abbas applauded the current Indian batting line, especially the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

“I think at the moment Virat is the best. He will break all the records of Sachin Tendulkar,” said Abbas, while talking to local media. Known as the Asian Bradman, Abbas was of the view that there is a player for every generation, so one should not be called the greatest.

However, Abbas' praise was not only limited to the Indian skipper, as it also included opening batsman Rohit Sharma, as the former Pakistani captain revealed his fondness for Sharma’s stroke play.

“But not only Virat, the Indian team has other top batsmen too. If you look at Rohit Sharma, you are just delighted to watch his strokes. One can only appreciate the beauty of his strokes. The variety of strokes in possession of Indian batsmen counts for a lot,” he added.

Speaking about the current Pakistani batsmen, the former president of ICC said, “They are my players; I want to see them at the best however, at the moment they do not possess the standards on which I can be proud of.”
