Kohli probably the best player I’ve seen in my life, says Langer

TIL Desk Sports/ Australia head coach Justin Langer has heaped praise on Virat Kohli, saying the talismanic batsman is “probably the best player” he has seen in his life, adding that the absence of the Indian skipper will have an impact on the upcoming Test series.

“Virat Kohli is probably the best player I’ve ever seen in my life for so many reasons, not only batting but his energy and passion for the game, the way he fields,” Langer told reporters on Friday by video conference.

“I cannot believe he displays the energy he does in everything he does and I’ve got so much respect for him. I’ve also got respect for him in the sense that he’s made this decision (to return for the birth),” he added.
