Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson have often been termed as one of the most complete batsmen of the modern-day cricket. Former New Zealand cricketer, Glenn Turner, when asked to pick between them, he decided to pick Williamson over Kohli in tough batting conditions but said that the Indian skipper leaves nothing for a bowler on a good batting track due to his natural tendency to dominate.

Turner also reckons that despite the fact that Kohli is more aggressive and confrontational than Williamson, it didn’t mean that either was less determined to win. During a recent chat with Telegraph, he said, “The significant differences between talented batsmen are generated by the playing conditions they were brought up on, along with their personalities.”

Glenn Turner further added, “Kohli is less likely to have been exposed early in his development to seaming pitches and the ball continuing to swing for extended periods, whereas Williamson will have experienced those conditions more often. Kohli’s greater exposure to pitches that take turns will have him more accustomed to playing spin better. Conditions less favorable for swing and seamers will also have allowed him more opportunities to become good at aggressively dominating that type of bowling.”

Turner also reckons both Kohli’s and Williamson’s motivation to succeed is contrasting, but it isn’t less than either one of them. However, he reckons that he would support Williamson more in tougher batting conditions. He also announced his support for Virat in good batting conditions because of his dominant nature, which helps his team to get favorable.
