Virat Kohli is better than Dhoni: Kapil Dev's gigantic 'greatest among greats' remark for India star after Dubai heroics

World cricket was once again in awe of Virat Kohli as the former India captain carved out a valiant knock of 84 in the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal against Australia on Tuesday at the Dubai International Stadium. Kohli received praise and accolades from all corners of the globe as he once again justified his 'chase master' moniker. But the ultimate compliment came from the legendary Kapil Dev.

Chasing 265 on a tricky Dubai track, India succumbed to two down for 43 inside the powerplay. But a courageous knock of 84 off 98 from Kohli, en route to which he was ably assisted by the middle-order, helped India wrap up the game with 11 balls to spare. Kohli was named the Player of the Match for his effort which saw him emerge as India's leading run-getter in the tournament thus far.
