Given their brotherhood, it was surprising when the former South African batter ditched Kohli and named someone else the GOAT of the game’s shortest format.
Mr 360, the legendary cricketer, chose Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan as the GOAT of the T20 format. ABD explained his decision by saying that the 24-year-old Afghan is capable of changing the course of the match with both bat and ball.
His primary strength is his leg-spin bowling, but he is also an underappreciated power-hitter who can annihilate any bowling attack on any given day. In addition, he is a gun fielder, making him a true all-arounder.
My greatest T20 player of all time is none other than Rashid Khan. He strikes with both bat and ball. He is a match winner in both departments; he is a livewire on the field and has the heart of a lion, said de Villiers in an Instagram video posted by Super Sports TV.
He always wants to win; he’s very competitive, and he’s right there with one of the best T20 players. Not even one of the best, let alone the best, he added. While de Villiers went into great detail about why he chose Rashid over other cricketers, including his good friend Kohli, the Indian talisman’s fans were not having it.
In T20 Internationals, no other batter has scored more runs than Kohli. He is also the leading run-scorer in the history of the IPL, the world’s largest cricket league.
