Auckland: Former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe paid a big compliment to star batsman Virat Kohli on Tuesday, terming him a combination of India’s premier batting trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag.

Crowe feels that Kohli is the “beacon in this rebuilding team” who will need to rapidly learn to become a true leader and a role model for millions.

“In some ways, this young giant (Kohli) is a combination of all those three (Sehwag, Tendulkar and Dravid), learning a bit from them all to shape his own unique creation. He is the next chosen one. He exudes the intensity of Rahul, the audacity of Virender, and the extraordinary range of Sachin. That doesn’t make him better, simply sui generis, his own unique kind,” Crowe wrote in an online column.

“At present, he is a beacon in this rebuilding team.” (PTI)
