Kohli has been in the form of his life over the past couple of months for his national side as well as his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, RCB. After winning the man of the tournament award in the recent World T20, Kohli has smashed three centuries in the ongoing ninth edition of IPL and is the leading scorer with 677 runs.
After his maiden T20 ton against Gujarat Lions, he followed it up with another one against Pune on Saturday.
'Great player'
"He (Kohli) is a great player. He is a player certainly whom I admire a lot, obviously like a lot of others do. It is his ability in T20 cricket and other formats and how he adapts from one format to the other all round the world is an incredible thing," Williamson said.

"Consistent as he is in T20 cricket, there may be no other player like him at the moment, but, well, there is David Warner who is also able to do that; it is also about keeping the benchmark for other players to strive to," he added.
When asked to comment on Kohli's aggressive nature on the field, he said, "I think he is comfortable the way he is, and plays the game his way."
