For the same, the ECB posted a video of its players talking about Virat Kohli. Jos Buttler said, “Virat Kohli is the most recognisable cricketer in the world. I don’t think words do justice to his stature in the game and obviously his records. We look forward to the challenge playing against best players like him.”
The English Head Coach, Brendon McCullum, said, “Virat Kohli is a highly competitive person. He transcends the sport and he’s become a real rockstar. He’s known not just in cricket or India, but known around the world and across various sports. He’s inspired people to love cricket. His legacy will live on long after he has played the game, an absolute champion.”
