Virat Kohli is best batsman in world cricket:Ravi Shastri

The best part for Shastri was the comeback after being 0-2 down in the Test series.

Even after being two-zero down in the Test series, for them to show that kind of character to come back and win that Test match



in Johannesburg on a spiteful pitch. And to then take that momentum into the one-day series and show the consistency they have shown over the last two weeks is fabulous.

“Entire credit should go to the leader because he has led from the front, first with his batting and then as I said with his intensity, which makes other people in the team also up the ante, he added.

The coach praised Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal for their good show as India now have more wicket-taking options in the middle overs, something that they team lacked a couple of years earlier.

Even in my last stint (as team director), Virat and I have always discussed that we need wickets in the middle overs. We ve got to somehow be able to attack, find ways of breaking partnerships and not allowing the game to drift. So that was the idea, and then identifying the right kind of people to do the job. Luckily for us, Kuldeep and Chahal have complemented each other beautifully.
