NEW DELHI: Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen feels that it’s an unfair comparison between Joe Root and Virat Kohli since the statistically the Indian Test captain is way ahead of the Yorkshire lad.
Going through a purple patch, Kohli has often being compared with England batsman Joe Root, which Pieterson feels isn’t a fair comparison.
“Kohli is as good as it gets. He is right up there. Root has good numbers, but it’s unfair to even compare Joe with Virat because his numbers are just phenomenal,” Pietersen was quoted as saying by ‘The Cricketer’ magazine. (PTI)
