New Delhi, Feb 12 (UNI) Adoring Indian skipper Virat Kohli's historic achievement of becoming the first cricketer to earn Sir Garfields Sober's Trophy for his outstanding performance in 2018-19, former Sri Lankan captain and star wicketkeeper-batsman Kumara Sangakkara claimed that Kohli is well ahead of his contemporaries and destined for greatness.
For Kohli, 2018 was memorable as he won the International Cricket Council's (ICC) cricketer, Test and one-day international player of the year. With such incredible consistency across formats, he currently holds the top position in both Tests and ODIs in ICC batsmen rankings.
“Everything about Virat's game stands out. I think he is head and shoulders above anyone else in world cricket today,” Sangakkara said in an interview to a news channel on Monday.
