In a hot take, former England captain Kevin Pietersen offered his perspective on great Indian cricketer Virat Kohli's legacy, emphasizing the former Indian captain's status as one of the game's greatest finishers.

Virat Kohli has been serving Indian cricket for the last 15 years and counting. Widely touted as one of the greatest batters to ever live, Kohli won numerous awe-inspiring games for his country, thus establishing his unwavering dominance in the world of cricket.

Having said that, the former Indian captain is nearing Father's Time and has a handful of years of cricket left in him. While his commitment is undoubtedly 100 percent, age will eventually get the better of him.

That being said, Virat Kohli will surely leave an unmatched legacy in Indian cricket whenever he decides to hang his boots. However, former English skipper Kevin Pietersen has a different take on how Kohli's legacy would pan out.

While commentating on an IPL game between RCB and PBKS, Kevin Pietersen opined on air that whenever Kohli retires from the sport, people will look up to him as not a formidable batter but the greatest finisher of the game.

"Whenever Virat Kohli retires, people will look up to him and say he was the greatest finisher," Kevin Pietersen said during IPL.

Kevin Pietersen's opinion stems from Virat Kohli's exceptional record while chasing. Kohli's best and most lethal version has always been unlocked during notable chases, and that earned him the nickname 'chase master.'

Overall, as Virat Kohli approaches the twilight of his illustrious career, his legacy as one of the game's greatest finishers is already firmly established. Whether leading his team to victory on the field or championing causes off the field, Kohli's impact on the game of cricket will be felt for generations to come.
