00:00As I heard about his retirement, it was really sad for me actually.
00:03My reaction was really bad about that.
00:09Virat was the best player in the test cricket.
00:12He has played absolutely amazing and it's an end of the cricket for our generation people.
00:18His story is very inspiring.
00:20From a normal boy from Delhi streets to such international level,
00:23holding the rank of number one batsman in the world,
00:25it is kind of mixed of hard work as well as perseverance.
00:29He has been my idol, but since it's his retirement, I feel sad.
00:36I think he should play more.
00:37It was disheartening for me, but at the same time,
00:41it is a very good time for him to step back
00:43because he's on the peak of his legacy
00:45and he has created a very good milestone for the younger generation.
00:48Definitely Virat Kohli has been star of the Indian cricket.
00:52Like he has been the face of the Indian cricket
00:54and definitely you can also check his captaincy records.
00:57Where does he rank in the India's greatest batsman?
01:00I rank him third.
01:01First Sachin Tindulkar, then very, very narrow difference.
01:04Sunil Kovaskar and then third, definitely Virat Kohli.
01:08Apart from Sachin, he's there.
01:10Second.
01:12Yeah.
01:14I don't want to get into any controversy.
01:16I have not seen Sachin Tindulkar bat closely.
01:18In all of my generation, I've seen Virat Kohli close badly.
01:21I won't put any cricketer over Virat Kohli any day, any time.
01:24King Kohli for sure.
01:25I think Australia, most beautiful thing
01:27because Aussies, as you know, they sledge a lot to other teams.
01:31But the way Virat Kohli played against them,
01:34it was so tremendous and very pleasurable to see.
01:37All moments are very special.
01:40His behaviour is aggression.
01:42Number one, number one.
01:43Because of his class and his aggression.
01:45From a fan's point of view,
01:47I would have loved to watch him play
01:48for the next 10, 15 years as well.
01:50Well done, Virat Kohli, sir.
01:51We miss you, Virat.
