Speaking about Kohli, the former pacer stated that the Delhi-born cricketer's statistics speak for themselves. He also spoke highly of Kohli for delivering "countless moments of joy".
"Virat's numbers are so monumental that I don't even need to say anything they speak for themselves. Beyond Indian cricket, look at the immense service he has rendered to world cricket, the countless moments of joy he has delivered, and how much he has entertained fans with his extraordinary talent. Full praise to him," he said.
He then said that the availability of Kohli and Rohit's services is a blessing for <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ind-vs-nz-t20is-strong-ipl-performance-helps-bhuvneshwar-kumar-earn-back-place-in-india-squad-check-statistics-23653792" rel="nofollow">Indian cricket</a>. He also added that age provides double benefit if a player maintains his fitness and performance.
"Just as I remarked about Rohit, having Kohli play for as long as possible is an absolute blessing for Indian cricket. If you keep yourself fit and maintain performance, age actually provides a double benefit. People often view age in a negative light, but I consider it a massive positive asset for any team," said Tanvir.
"When you possess that vast store of experience, you not only manage your own game instinctively, but you also have the wisdom and stature to guide and uplift the teammates playing alongside you," he added.
