Former India cricketer and multiple time World Cup winner, Yuvraj Singh has heaped praise on Virat Kohli, calling him the 'best batter of this generation'. 

The former India all-rounder also stated that Virat Kohli deserves to win the T20 World Cup, for his outstanding performances in the past editions. Kohli will play in his 6th T20 World Cup this year, and will aim to win the only ICC trophy eluded of him.

The former India captain made his T20 World Cup debut in 2012, and since then has gone onto become the leading run-scorer in tournament's history (1141 runs).

Yuvraj heaps praise on Kohli

In a chat with ICC, Yuvraj talked about Kohli's hunger for runs and added that the 35-year-old won't stop until he wins the T20 World Cup.


 "The best batter of this generation, I feel, in all formats. And I think he is also someone who needs a World Cup Medal. He has one. I'm sure he is not satisfied with one. I think he surely deserves that medal as well."

Yuvraj further added that Kohli is a man of big occasions and always puts his best foot forward against the big teamslike Australia.

"I think he understands his game really well," Yuvraj said. "He knows if he's there till the end, he is going to win the game for India and he has done that on some big occasions - against Australia in Mohali as well. "Once he had the confidence of chasing and knowing the situation, he knows how to bat in these situations, knows which bowlers to attack, which bowlers to take singles off, when to attack again, handle the pressure and knows when to change his game.

Kohli, who is most likely to open alongside Rohit Sharma in the upcoming World Cup, is the leading run-scorer of IPL 2024 as well, with 542 runs, and striking at 148.
