“Virat is a fantastic player for India.He is like my brother. I think he will take India to the next level. He is doing so well in Test cricket as captain, but I think he is also going to lead India in ODIs in future,” Harbhajan said while talking to his fans on Facebook.
“In fact, I have always said that Sachin Tendulkar is my all-time favourite cricketer. And now my current favourite is Kohli. He is a really fantastic player,” he added.
Besides praising Kohli, the 36-year-old off-spinner also revealed the list of his all-time favourite spinners.
Harbhajan, who was recently blessed with a baby girl, named compatriot and former leg-spinner Anil Kumble, Australia leg-spin legend Shane Warne and the Pakistan spin legend Saqlain Mushtaq as his favourites.
