Lucknow: Indian team's legendary batsman Virat Kohli is such a player who has made his name in all three formats of cricket. Whenever there is talk of world cricket, Kohli's name will definitely come up and he is considered the number one player in the world. On the other hand, former Indian opener Navjot Singh Sidhu has a different opinion and has described a player from Gujarat Titans (GT) as the greatest. Whenever the World XI of any format is formed, Kohli's name will be included in it but Sidhu has given a different statement.
Actually, Virat is in great form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 but even after seeing this, Sidhu has not selected Kohli. The former Indian cricketer believes that if he had to choose any player first, he would choose GT's star spinner Rashid Khan.
