Michael Vaughan has always admired Virat Kohli and hailed him as the GOAT across all formats. The former England captain never misses an occasion to praise Kohli on social media and in his interviews. Now Vaughan has revealed that his little boy has given him instructions about waking him up whenever Kohli comes out to bat.
The former cricketer admitted that his son is a huge Kohli fan and never misses the chance of watching him bat. He also added that when Kohli got out on 89 in the second ODI against Australia, his son didn’t watch the remaining match and was back to doing other things.
Virat Kohli is an absolute genius- Michael Vaughan
Well, there’s no doubting the fact that when Kohli bats the world watches. Vaughan also pointed out that Kohli makes it look ridiculously easy when he has the bat in hands as he executes unreal strokes without much effort. The 46-year-old further tagged Kohli as a special player and a genius.
“My little boy is a little player and all he does is, always says to me, when Virat comes out to bat, just wake me up. As soon as Virat goes out getting caught at midwicket, he goes back inside to do something else.
He’s that powerful with the kids. When you see shots like that fly off the middle of the bat without any real effort or doesn’t seem like any much effort going into the stroke – it’s just flying into the stands. He’s a special player, he’s an absolute genius,” Michael Vaughan told Cricbuzz.

Meanwhile, Michael Vaughan also stated that he has no concerns regarding Kohli’s batting. He never doubts him as a batsman but is worried about India playing three Tests without him. Vaughan believes that India without Kohli virtually has no chance of beating Australia in the Test series.
“The one thing I don’t worry about with Virat Kohli is his batting. There is no concern about his batting whatsoever. He is a wonderful player, he’s the best of the era across the formats, there is no doubts about that”.
“I worry about those three Tests that India have without him. I don’t see India being able to win those Tests without the Virat Kohli factor. He is that important for that Test team. His 100s will come. Once he gets one, probably he would get 3-or-4 together, he’s that good,” Michael Vaughan said.
