He's so classy and easy on the eye: Curtly Ambrose on Virat Kohli

One of the most menacing sights for batsmen in the 90s was a charged Curtly Ambrose running towards them. The legendary West Indian recently backed India’s premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah to bag 400 Test wickets.

Now the former pacer has praised India and RCB skipper Virat Kohli, calling him a wonderful all-format batsman.

"Wonderful cricketer. I'm a big fan. Kohli is one of those guys that you will pay to watch. He's so classy and easy on the eye. He's just a wonderful cricketer in all formats. Great cricketer," Ambrose said on The Curtly and Karishma Show on YouTube, which is hosted by sports presenter Karishma Kotak.

Virat Kohli has been one of the most successful captains for India, besides being the premier batter in all three formats. He has led India in 60 Tests – joint most with MS Dhoni - with 36 wins.

In IPL 2021, which had to be halted midway due to COVID-19 concerns, RCB led by Virat had emerged as a top side winning five of the seven games.

The 32-year-old will now be leading the Indian side in the final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand, before taking on England in the five-match Test series. And when he steps on to the field to lead India in WTC final, he will also be conquering another record – most Tests as a captain for Team India.
