In a recent interactive session, Shamar Joseph, the promising young talent from the West Indies, made headlines by choosing Australian cricket stalwart Steve Smith over Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli.

This choice came during a series of rapid-fire questions where Shamar Joseph was asked to pick between various players, leagues, and his performances among other things.

Joseph, who is currently part of the West Indies squad touring England for a three-match Test series, initially expressed difficulty with the choice, indicating that it was tough to pick. However, he ultimately sided with Steve Smith and chose to sidelined Virat Kohli.

"That’s a tough one…Steve Smith," Joseph remarked during the session.



This choice highlighted the never-ending debate in the cricketing world about who reigns supreme among the modern-day greats.

While Steve Smith's dominance in Tests is well-documented with a higher batting average and more impactful performances, Kohli presents a formidable challenge with his all-format brilliance. Kohli's statistics in ODIs and T20Is are particularly outstanding, placing him among the greatest ODI batsmen of all time.

The debate between Smith and Virat Kohli has been a perennial topic among cricket fans. Smith’s Test record speaks volumes with numerous innings that have turned games in Australia's favour.

On the other hand, Kohli's comprehensive excellence across all formats, including his aggressive batting and consistency, makes him a cricketing icon beyond comparison in white-ball formats.
