Would be Very hard for Future Batters to Break Virat Kohli’s Records: Sreesanth

Former India pacer S Sreesanth heaped praise on batting maestro Virat Kohli and said it would be difficult for the batters in future to break his records. Kohli, who is arguably the best batter of this generation, is just one short of equalling Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of most ODI centuries – 49. Meanwhile, with the kind of form he is in, it might take him only a handful of matches to get to his 50th ODI ton.

Kohli has scored 354 runs in 6 matches, including a century a three half-centuries in the ongoing ODI World Cup.

With 13437 runs in 286 matches in his kitty, Kohli is touted to break Tendulkar’s batting records in ODIs.

Sreesanth also suggested that the 34-year-old is going to get better of Tendulkar’s numbers but then it won’t be easy to break Kohli’s records.

“We are all talking about Sachin Tendulkar’s records, but Kohli is going to break the record for hundreds, fifties and most runs in the World Cup. Someone else might break it in the future, but it would be very hard for future batters to break Virat Kohli’s records,” Sreesanth told Sportstkeeda.

The World Cup-winning star also talked about Kohli’s sublime form in the ongoing mega-tournament and said he does everything with a lot of passion and emotion.

“You can just keep on talking about Virat. The best thing especially in this World Cup is that hunger he has got, and not just for runs. When he is fielding, he does it with passion. For India, cricket is a religion and the whole world as well, it is an emotion. He plays with so much emotion. The way Virat plays, everything from sports to arts, gets expression,” he elaborated.

Sreesanth further hailed Kohli’s family and close circle for keeping him in a good space of mind.

“Virat, please keep playing the way you do and lots of respect to his family and his full circle. The kind of feedback they are giving him, it’s amazing,” Sreesanth concluded.

The batting maestro will be next seen in action against England in the ODI World Cup match in Lucknow.
