Virat Kohli is arguably the best chaser the game has ever seen: Steve Smith

Australia captain Steve Smith heaped praise on Virat Kohli and called him the best chaser the game has ever seen after India made it to the final of the Champions Trophy 2025. Kohli scored a fine 84 to get his side over the line.

"Yeah, I mean he's arguably the best chaser the game has seen. He's done it numerous times against us. He controls the tempo of the game really well, plays to his strengths and takes the game deep. I thought he played really well again tonight," said Smith.
