Following his retirement from ODI cricket, Virat Kohli came up with a comment on Stokes' Instagram account. "You're the most competitive bloke I've ever played against. Respect," Kohli commented. Now it has come to the limelight that the English all-rounder has praised Virat Kohli with all his heart and he loved to play against the former Indian captain.
Talking to Sky Sports, Stokes said that he loved playing against Virat and has admired him all through his career. He said that Virat will go down as one of those players who did well in all three formats. He further added that playing against such brilliant players made him understand what playing at the big level was all about. This comes after Virat's comment on the English all-rounder's Instagram post.
"I love Virat. He is going to go down as one of the greatest ever players to play the game in all three formats. He is a phenomenal player and I absolutely love that I have played against someone like him. The energy and the commitment that he gives to the game is something which I have admired even before I started playing against him. When you play guys like that, you understand what it means not just to yourself but everybody else what it means to play the game at the top level," Stokes said.
Stokes revealed that he had always loved a contest with the Indian batter and admitted that he would like to have a few more contests with him. "I loved every single time I have played against him. I am sure we will have some more battles On the field," Stokes added. The two have had multiple contests across formats and it's impressive to say that the battle had impressed the fans all around the world.
Although the retirement of Stokes from ODI might put an end to the contest in the format, we can be assured that the contest will go on until either of them retires from the rest of the formats.
