Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis added that Virat Kohli is among the most successful cricketers in recent times because he has become the best version of himself. He also shared that Kohli does most of the things keeping this aspect in mind, whether it is picking up a fight or getting the crowd on his side as well.

In an interview on Revsportz, Stoinis applauded Virat Kohli and shared his views on why he has been so successful. “If you ask anyone, his skills are as good as we have seen probably throughout the history of cricket. What sets him apart for me is his ability to bring that energy and passion to absolutely every game of cricket. He’s figured out what his best version is in terms of performance. It seems like he can channel that and bring that energy every single game,” he said.

“Yes, at times it might mean picking a fight or getting the crowd on his side. But it’s very clear to me that he understands himself, understands what his best version is. He is amazing at getting himself into that mindset every game. That’s a special skill that I don’t think many can do. We all work to that. But that’s something that I see in him that I definitely admire,” Marcus Stoinis further added.

However, Virat Kohli has so far played in 111 Tests, 275 ODIs, and 115 T20Is, scoring over 25,000 international runs with 76 hundreds and 131 fifties so far as well. Meanwhile, India and Australia will begin their World Cup 2023 campaign by playing against each other.

“You can set the tone for the tournament I guess. Leading into the tournament, we have also got a tour to India, where we play three ODIs. The teams will know each other well. Being one of the first games of the tournament, playing each other early will be a good chance for both sides to set the tone. It’s a long World Cup. There are nine round games, so getting a few big wins early could be obviously the way everyone wants to start,” Marcus Stoinis concluded.
