In the lead-up to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has lauded Virat Kohli, calling him the “greatest player ever” in cricket history. Sidhu emphasized Kohli’s unparalleled impact on the game, citing his fitness, mental strength, and ability to dominate across all three formats. He compared Kohli’s presence on the field to that of Sachin Tendulkar, highlighting the psychological boost he provides to the Indian team.
Sidhu also praised Kohli’s ability to rise to big occasions, stating that a mere 20-run start could be enough for him to turn the tide in a crucial match. He specifically pointed to Kohli’s legendary record against Pakistan, which, according to him, will take years for any player to match. Kohli has consistently delivered in high-pressure games, making him a key asset for India in the upcoming tournament.
With the Champions Trophy approaching, Kohli’s form and leadership will be crucial for India’s chances of winning their third title. As discussions around his greatness continue, fans and experts alike will be eager to see if he can once again deliver a match-winning performance on the global stage.
