"You'd Be Very Brave To Write Off Virat At Any Stage": Australia T20I Captain Aaron Finch

India vs Australia: Ahead of the first T20I, Australia skipper Aaron Finch praised Virat Kohli, saying he is one of the greatest players of all time.

Aaron Finch-led Australia will begin their T20 World Cup preparation on Tuesday as the side takes on India in the first T20I of the three-match series at PCA Stadium in Mohali. Off late, Finch's form has been in question and the right-handed batter recently decide to retire from ODIs. In 9 T20Is that he has played in 2022, Finch has registered 247 runs and he would now hope to provide a good start to Australia at the top.

Ahead of the three-match series against India, Finch addressed a virtual press conference where he spoke about his own form, Virat Kohli scoring 71 international tons, the role of Steve Smith and the side's preparations leading up to the World Cup.

Virat Kohli had recently scored his first international ton after almost three years and that was his first T20I ton as well.

"You'd be a very very brave man to write off Virat at any stage. He has shown for 15 years now, that he is one of the greatest players of all time. Particularly in T20 cricket, he is someone who has developed his game and grown his game over for such a long period. You are always trying to prepare to the best of your ability when you are coming up against Virat," said Finch during a press conference.

"He is super, 71 international hundreds, that is just ridiculous, isn't it," he added.
