Former Indian player Gautam Gambhir takes a dig at MS Dhoni and says, “There is no better finisher than Virat Kohli”
The batting of team India in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has been about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Sharma provides an early, solid base, Kohli plays the role of an anchor and ensures India ends up winning matches whenever given the chance to finish the game. Last evening against New Zealand, Kohli proved his worth in gold, scoring a scintillating 95 during India's four-wicket win against New Zealand, chasing the target of 274 runs at Dharamshala.With accolades coming in from all over, Kohli received high praise from none other than Gautam Gambhir.While speaking, Gambhir, who is known to have issues with Kohli, called the star batter one of the best finishers after his showing class against the Kiwis last evening, explaining how the role of a finisher is not restricted to No. 5 or 6, or 7.Gambhir said, "There is no better finisher than Virat Kohli. A finisher is not only those who bat at No. 5 or No. 7; he is a chase master."The former captain of team India, MS Dhoni, is widely regarded as one of the greatest finishers in white-ball cricket, while Kohli has been celebrated as the best in the chase. He generally batted down the order and has remained unbeaten in most ODI chases for India.
