Former Pakistani batsman Zaheer Abbas joined in the party to appreciate Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Abbas said that Virat Kohli is the best player in the world and is going to break all the records of Indian great Sachin Tendulkar.

The 30-year-old Indian captain has 39 ODI centuries under his name and is only 10 short of Sachin Tendulkar’s 49 ODI centuries.
The 30-year-old became the first player to win all three of top awards after being named captain of the Test and ODI teams of the year by ICC earlier in the day. Kohli also won the Sir Garfield Sobers trophy and the ICC ODI player of the year trophy last year as well.
Kohli scored 1,322 runs at an average of 55.08 in 13 Tests with five hundreds during the calendar year while in 14 ODIs he amassed 1202 runs at an astonishing average of 133.55 with six centuries. He also scored 211 runs in 10 T20Is.
The Virat Kohli-led ODI team won their first ever bilateral series in Australia by 2-1 on January 18. Earlier this month, India also became the first Asian team to win a Test series on Australian soil, India won the series by 2-1 and this was their first win in Australia in their 71 year of cricket history.
India will now play New Zealand in a five-match ODI series and a three-match T20I series starting from January 23.
