Through his magnificent batting, Kohli has helped India while establishing multiple performance records across all cricket formats. Through his cricketing journey, Kohli has certainly faced numerous tough challenges from bowlers.
“In Test cricket, James Anderson in England, by far the toughest. In T20 cricket, I think Sunil Narine for a consistent amount of time. 15 years and, he is still very difficult to pick. I can’t pick him,” Kohli said.
“And in One Day Cricket, Malinga was pretty good. He was difficult to face. Adil Rashid is very good, he is probably the toughest spinner I have faced,” the RCB star added.
Indian star Virat Kohli exceeded his challenges, but at an event, he disclosed which bowlers proved most difficult to face throughout his playing career. Kohli identified Sunil Narine’s KKR T20 overs as the most difficult time he faced since the former England bowler James Anderson challenged him the most in Test matches. In One-Day Internationals, Kohli identifies Lasith Malinga and Adil Rashid as the most challenging opponents because he considers Rashid to be the toughest spinner he has ever encountered.
