"Virat performed really well in South Africa; even on an uneven wicket, he scored a hundred. You cannot say he is scared of fast-bowlers or he cannot play on bouncy pitches or he doesn't play spinners well."
Miandad, who aggregated 8832 runs in 124 Tests and 7381 runs in 233 ODIs for Pakistan, stated that both Rohit Sharma and Kohli make batting look easy.
One of the toughest competitors of his time, Miandad is known for his outspokenness.
On Kohli, he added, "He is a clean hitter. Look at his shots, it feels so good to watch him bat. He has class."
