Another Sub-continent cricketer Tamim Iqbal had lavished praise on the Indian batter ahead of today’s game. “I sometimes feel he is not human because the way he performs, my goodness, the moment he comes out to bat, it looks like he is going to score a hundred every game,” Tamim told Khaleej Times.

“I have seen all the great players that have played the game in the past 12 years. They have their own strong points. But I haven’t seen anyone that has dominated as much as Virat has,” Tamim said. Clearly, the cricketing world has bowed down to the man. Kohli is well-known for his fitness and the way he anchored his innings against the Windies speaks volume of the effort that he has put in.
