Virat Kohli has labelled Steve Smith as the best Test batter of this generation, with his consistency and `unbelievable` average of scoring runs in sight. Kohli`s comments on Smith would be a huge accolade on the Australian as it came from another batting stalwart of the current generation.
"According to me, Steve Smith is the best Test player of this generation. He has displayed that, his adaptability is absolutely brilliant. You take any cricketer of this generation," Kohli said ahead of the ongoing World Test Championship final between India and Australia.
