West Indies  cricket legend Brian Lara, in a tête-à-tête with The Hindu's Rakesh Rao spoke on international cricket, Test playing nations, bowling standards... and Virat Kohli.

On Virat Kohli’s versatility in all three forms of the game, Lara says: "It’s unbelievable. He's cricket’s version of Cristiano Ronaldo. I think he’s taken fitness to another level. When see guys in the 70s and the fun that they were having, the fitness level wasn't that great. In 2019, pretty much, fitness is a major part of the game and Kohli is leading the charge, not just in India but around the world. His mental strength is unbelievable."
