Virat Kohli is a better player than Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting, say Michael Vaughan

Virat has scored 1223 runs in 2018 at an average of 58.23. In the last 3 years, Virat has an average of almost 70 in Tests while averaging 94.47 in ODIs in the same period.
Virat Kohli is recognised as the best batsman in the world right now. There was a debate with Steve Smith as to who was the better Test cricketer but after Smith’s ban but that debate died a natural death. There was talk with Ab de Villiers as to who is the best limited-overs batsman but that debate also came to an end after de Villiers' retirement. Virat is a constant whenever a there is a talk of the best batsman in the world.
He proved his masterclass again when he scored his 25th Test Century in the first innings of the second Test against Australia in Perth. He is really used to breaking records by now but with that hundred, Virat broke some more records. With his sixth century in Australia, Virat tied with Sachin Tendulkar as the overseas player with most hundreds in Australia.
So now Former England captain Michael Vaughan has come forward and declared that Virat is the best batsman he has ever seen.
“I have not seen a better player (than Kohli),” Vaughan told Fox Sports.
“I’m not disrespecting Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara or Ricky Ponting but across three formats of the game I have not seen anyone better.”
