After 919 runs, six fifties, four hundred, an average of 91.9 and strike-rate of 152.4, Virat Kohli is looking unstoppable in the on-going IPL. His consistency in the T20 format and his dependency on traditional cricketing shots to score runs has garnered his praise from all the corners of the cricketing world. Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper David Warner is one of the cricketers who are in awe of Virat Kohli.
After Kohli’ss 54 against Delhi Daredevils ensured a playoff berth for his team Royal Challengers Bangalore Warner took to Twitter yet again to hail Kohli’s purple patch.
Disappointed about today's game but that's cricket. @imVkohli has set benchmark for every player in the world. Always composed. #whatAplayer

This was not the first instance when Warner has praised Kohli. In fact Warner, who himself has been in great form this season with 658 runs, David Warner has been praising the Indian Test Captain Virat Kohli since the T20 World Cup 2016.
Here is what he tweeted previously:
Even if they used a marble @imVkohli would still see it as a balloon. #seriousplayer nothing can stop him

The southpaw has also praised the formidable de Villiers-Kohli duo throughout the IPL.
Some serious hitting by @imVkohli & @ABdeVilliers17 nothing can stop the best at that venue. #kaboom #6ersGalore

Easily the two best batters in the world. @imVkohli @ABdeVilliers17 how many times has two players scored 100 in 20/20 for a team?
