Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara & Robin Uthappa express their views on Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma as one of the world’s best batsmen of the modern game while also speaking highly of Indian legends Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, whose batting exploits were carefully watched and followed by Virat & Rohit.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports show Cricket Connected, Kumar Sangakkara said, “If you look at Rahul and Dada, both of them are orthodox batsmen. They play beautiful cricket shots and are very technically correct, Dravid may be a little bit more so, but the ability to be as destructive with such rate and precision stroke-making is something that has to be really admired. If you take the modern-day game, India has two of the best players in Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who play orthodox cricket but who are just absolutely destructive in any format of the game. You don’t have to muscle the ball or put too much effort or look ugly doing it, they just play good cricket shots and results come.”
