Back in 2020 when the world went almost to a standstill due to Covid-19, cricket fans were treated to an interview by former England skipper Kevin Pietersen. Pietersen hosted Virat Kohli and quizzed him about various topics.

One question was about who Kohli’s favorite commentator is. Pietersen, who himself is a commentator and a full-time pundit, got trolled by Kohli as the latter said Pietersen was indeed not his favorite one.

Well, Kohli did not take Harsha Bhogle or Ravi Shastri‘s name. The 35-year-old took a bit of time before revealing his favorite commentator is former England skipper Nasser Hussain.

My favorite commentator… is easy. It is not you, come on. My favorite commentator is… Nasser (Hussain).

Nasser Hussain once called Virat Kohli the best cricketer on the planet

Back in 2018, India faced England and all eyes were on Virat Kohli because of his horrid show on English soil in 2014 where he managed just 134 runs in 10 innings. But in the 2018 Test series, Kohli’s bat did the most talking, which subdued the criticism he had been facing.

His scores from the 10 innings read: 149, 51, 23, 17, 97, 103, 46, 58, 49, and duck. From three Tests, his 440 runs prompted Nasser Hussain to call him the best batter on the planet in his column for Sky Sports.

It was an outstanding performance from a great, great player. I believe he is the greatest player on the planet.
Husain wrote in a column for Sky Sports

Hussain also lauded Kohli’s mindset. He pointed out how Kohli remained relaxed by sometimes talking to the umpires or to the opposition players, but the moment he had to bat, he turned aggressive.
