Virat Kohli would be perfect for T10 format, reckons former India star

Virat Kohli has been a stalwart of the game across all formats. The Indian gladiator is one of the best in the world and is regarded as one of the all-time greats, especially in the limited-overs format of the sport.

Kohli's main forte is ODI cricket, where he has scored tons of runs and has broken various records. In the T20 format, Kohli's numbers are quite decent as well. But what will happen if it comes to T10, the shortest version of the game?

T10 has emerged as a popular form of the game across many countries. The 10-over extravaganza is being played in Abu Dhabi, and most recently in USA among veteran cricketers.

Former India batter Robin Uthappa believes Virat Kohli and the current other superstars of the game would be a perfect ambassador for T10 cricket.

"I certainly would love to see the Virat Kohli's of the world playing this version of the game. Because I think it would add so much more value. I think he's probably one of the greatest ODI players we've ever seen in our lives. And I think that he would discover different aspects of his own game when he plays this version of the game," Uthappa said.

The former India player also believes the T10 format is going to stay here and it will add a lot of value to T20 cricket, wishing the format gets introduced in India as well.

"I think T10 is here to stay. I think it opens up a different aspect of cricket that would add a lot of value to T20 cricket. So, I do hope that at some point, it gets introduced in India and the current cricketers can play this format of the game," he added.

In the recent US Masters T10 League, The Texas Chargers emerged victorious over the New York Warriors in an exhilarating Super Over finale. The final match took place on Sunday at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida.

The tournament featured teams such as Atlanta Fire, California Knights, Morrisville Unity, New Jersey Triton's and New York Warriors alongside Texas Chargers. It was a spectacle filled with action-packed performances. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch from California Knights stood out as the top scorer of the tournament with a total of 236 runs. Concurrently, fast bowler Sohail Khan claimed the most wickets (15) during this competition.
