Recently, another former Pakistan batsman Zaheer Abbas also shared his thoughts and said there are not many players who are parallel to Kohli at the moment.
"Waise bhi bahut hi zyaada cricket khelte hai Indian team (In any case, the Indian team plays too much of cricket). A top player like Kohli too is a part of most of those matches, and he can’t get bored too because that’s his profession and has given him so much," Abbas told The Telegraph.
“Just look at what Kohli has achieved over the years… Also, he is not a machine. Even a machine sometimes mal-functions.
“At this moment, there aren’t many who can parallel Kohli,” he said.
