Former Team India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh showered praise on Virat Kohli ahead of the Men in Blue’s 2025 Champions Trophy campaign. Kohli’s form has been a major topic of discussion among fans leading up to the ICC event.
Singh pointed out that fluctuations in form are a natural part of a long cricketing career. He acknowledged Kohli as a world-class performer across all formats, calling him the best player of his generation. Speaking on Star Sports’ show ‘Thank You Pakistan! Jeetega Toh Hindustan’, Yuvraj Singh said:
“I call him ‘King Kohli’. He has been ‘Mahavirat’ for several years. As far as form is concerned, there will be ups and downs in a career of 15-18 years, but you should see his graph. He’s the best player of our generation, of all formats. There is no comparison.”

Virat Kohli has shown flashes of his former brilliance but has struggled for consistency. He began the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 with a brilliant 100* in Perth but couldn’t replicate that form in the subsequent matches. However, he scored 52 runs in India‘s final home match against England ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
The Rohit Sharma-led team will face Bangladesh in their opening match of the 2025 Champions Trophy. The game will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday, February 20.
