Delhi: Former Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh has described great batsman Virat Kohli as the best batsman in the world in all three formats. Interestingly, Yuvraj neither took the name of Sachin Tendulkar nor England's Joe Root.

In the 'Prairie Fire' podcast, when he was asked who is the best batsman across all three formats, Yuvi immediately took the name of Virat Kohli. Yuvraj said, “Joe Root is the best in Test cricket, but in world cricket I consider Virat Kohli the best. Root may be the best in England, but if we talk about world cricket, Kohli is the best.”

If we talk about Kohli, so far he has scored 26965 runs in 534 international matches, which includes 80 centuries. At the same time, Joe Root has scored 19817 runs in 349 matches and has 50 centuries in his name.

It is also true that Joe Root has left Virat behind in Test cricket, where Root has scored 12402 runs in 146 Test matches, which includes 34 centuries and 64 half-centuries. At the same time, Kohli has scored 8871 runs in 114 tests and has 29 centuries in his name.

Kohli's flop show against Bangladesh

Kohli was not able to perform well in the first test against Bangladesh. He was out after scoring 6 and 17 runs in both the innings respectively. Now the second test will be played in Kanpur, where fans will expect better performance from Kohli. This match will be played in Kanpur from 27th September. India had defeated Bangladesh by 280 runs in the first match of the series and took a commanding 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
