'It's A Poetry In Motion': Netherlands Cricketers In Awe Of Virat Kohli Ahead Of IND vs NED Tie | Watch VIDEO

New Delhi: Netherlands cricketers lavished huge praise on former India captain Virat Kohli ahead of the ODI World Cup tie against India which will be played on Sunday at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Kohli has slammed two centuries in this World Cup so far and the modern-day great also equalled the record of cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar by smashing his 49th century in the recently-concluded match against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The 35-year-old batter is among the highest run-getters in the tournament with 500-plus runs and will be aiming to surpass Tendulkar with his 50th ODI ton against Netherlands. Ahead of the tie, Netherlands cricketers, along with captain Scott Edwards, were spotted hailing Kohli, the video of which went viral on social sphere. Here is the clip:

“Virat Kohli is arguably the greatest of all time, a lot of guys look up to him” said Netherlands opener Max O’Dowd in a video uploaded by Star Sports. “Virat Kohli obviously, he’s someone that’s a massive wicket,” said Edwards.

“Who doesn’t love Virat Kohli? Everyone loves Virat Kohli,” added Indian-origin Dutch batter Vikramjit Singh. “It’s a poetry in motion, that’s what I always think, so yeah, it’s good.” Edwards also hailed Kohli’s consistency.

“Especially when you’re defending a total, I think he’s been so consistent throughout the years for India and you’ve got to get him out early,” added the Holland skipper. The Men in Blue have already booked their berth in the semifinal and are likely to face New Zealand unless anything major happens.

Apart from Indian batters, the bowling unit is also in lethal form as India is the only team which have bowled out every opposition in the marquee event and the last three opponents were not even able to cross the 150-run mark.
