Dinesh Karthik: There have been many great players in the cricket world who have surprised everyone with their performance. Some players have made such records in their name that it seems difficult for anyone to break them.

However, if one player has to be named in the world, then it becomes difficult for everyone. In this episode, now former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has told who is the greatest batsman in the world in his eyes.

Karthik had said in a recent interview that "If we look at the statistics, Joe Root looks better. Especially in the Test format, he is far ahead but if I have to choose one player, I will choose Virat Kohli.

I have seen Virat playing for the last 10 years and whenever it comes to big matches, I like to see Kohli playing there. In such a situation, if I would like to bat with any one player the most in my life, then it would be Virat Kohli.

Root has performed brilliantly recently

If we look at Root's recent statistics, he has done an incredible job and is currently in great form in the Test format. This legendary player has played a total of 145 Test matches so far, in which he has scored 12377 runs with an average of 50.93.

During this period, Root has scored 34 centuries and 64 half-centuries. Kohli seems to be a little behind him in this format but Virat has shown excellent performance in all three formats of cricket and Root has not been able to do so. Not only this, Root is no longer a part of both England's ODI and T20 team.

Virat's influence in all three formats of cricket

The former captain of the Indian team has shown excellent performance in all three formats of cricket. He has played many memorable innings in Test, ODI and T20 and that is why Karthik has placed Kohli ahead of Root and called him the best.

Virat has scored 8848 runs in 113 matches in Test cricket so far, while playing 295 ODI matches, this player has scored 13906 runs. Apart from this, he has retired from T-20 cricket but he has 4188 runs to his name.
