The New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson went on to choose his Indian counterpart, Virat Kohli, and flamboyant former South Africa batsman AB de Villiers as the best batsmen in the world at the moment. During an Instagram live session with his SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) teammate David Warner, the Kiwi revealed that Kohli is hungry to become the best batsman in all three formats and he has set the bar so high for others.
Williamson explained, “It”s very hard to pinpoint one. Someone like AB — I know he only plays franchise cricket now, but in terms of gifted players, he is right up there. And a top guy as well. He’s one of the special players of our time. But (there are) so many quality players. Kohli, in all formats, has a real hunger to dominate. He is so good to watch and play against, and to learn as well. He has set the bar so high.”
