THIS former Pakistan pacer compares Virat Kohli with Ronaldo, Lionel Messi

Virat Kohli has time and again proven his mettle in important ICC events multiple times. Even in the last game against arch-rivals Pakistan, the 36-year-old batter played a match-winning innings and smashed an unbeaten century against the Men in Green. Despite being an arch-rival, several Pakistani cricket fans and veteran players lauded Kohli for his unmatched performance against their team.

Which Pakistan veteran praised Kohli

The latest entrant in the list of Pakistani players, who went all praise for Kohli is former pacer Mohammad Amir, who compared the Indian star with global football icons like Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. In an interview with Sports Tak, Amir said, ''Why do people love Ronaldo? Why do they love Messi? If I talk about Ronaldo, especially, look at his lifestyle. Look at his charity work, his work ethic, and his fitness. He is a complete package.''

''Likewise, Virat Kohli is a complete package. Why is he a role model for many, even in Pakistan? The country doesn't matter. Whether he is from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, or England - a role model can be from anywhere. For this generation, Virat Kohli is an inspiration,'' he added.
