There is often a comparison between Joe Root and Virat Kohli’s Test stats. Many great players of the world have given their opinion on this. Now former Team India cricketer Yuvraj Singh has also given his opinion on this. Yuvi told how it is difficult to compare the two players. He may have called Joe Root a better Test batsman considering his current form, but at the same time he has also praised Virat Kohli.
Actually, some time ago, former England captain Michael Vaughan had described Joe Root as a better batsman than Virat Kohli. Michael Vaughan said this in the Club Prairie Fire podcast. Adam Gilchrist was also present at that time.
When Yuvi was asked about the comparison between Virat Kohli and Joe Root, he said, if you are playing in England, then there is no doubt that you will name Joe Root. But if you have to play around the world, then I will choose Virat Kohli. Because I know that there are some wickets where he can cause a lot of damage to the opposing team.
Yuvi further said that this question is quite debatable. If you look at the current form, I would definitely choose Joe Root. But if you look at all the formats, then I will name Virat without any doubt. Virat Kohli is currently playing the India and Bangladesh Test series. However, he could not show anything amazing in the first Test.
Virat Kohli could not do anything special in both the innings of the first test match. Virat Kohli has played very few test matches in recent times. This year when the England team came to India, Virat Kohli was not a part of the test team. He had taken a break.
