Former Pakistan captain Aamer Sohail compared Virat Kohli with Javed Miandad, saying the greatness of the current India skipper rubs on his teammates, much like the legendary batsman.

Lahore: “The most important point for me is that big players break out. They are individually great, but their greatness does not help the team at all. When you talk about Pakistan’s cricket history and its greatness, the first name that comes to mind is Miandad,” said Sohail in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
“His greatness is still talked about to this day because he used to raise the level of play of the rest of the team. When you stitched a long partnership with him, you learnt so much, and got inspired that you wanted to improve more. This is what Kohli does as well. If you look around Kohli, every player has improved alongside him and this is why he gets the tag of a great player,” he added.
