Virat Kohli’s devotion and work ethic have been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi by former Pakistan bowler Mohammad Amir. Amir told an Indian journalist in Lahore on Thursday that Kohli’s health, discipline, and lifestyle make him a role model beyond his on-field performances.
How come people love Ronaldo? They love Messi—why? When discussing Ronaldo, consider his lifestyle. Examine his fitness and work ethic. He’s complete. Virat Kohli is complete, Amir stated.
The former left-arm fast noted that Kohli is popular in Pakistan, reflecting global admiration.
Why does he inspire many in Pakistan? Country doesn’t matter. Role models can come from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, or England, he said. Mohammad Amir said Kohli is the best batter of this generation and that young batters should emulate him.
Virat Kohli inspires this generation. All young cricketers and hitters should follow Virat Kohli, he urged. Amir was unsurprised that Kohli arrived for training 90 minutes before the rest of the team before the high-voltage India-Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match.
“Virat Kohli is a player who disregards age. Amir claimed his work ethic is consistent regardless of form.
He arrived 90 minutes before training on India-Pakistan match day. Life was best for Virat Kohli. His work ethic is top-notch despite playing two or more years in international cricket. He concluded that his abilities and work ethic are unquestionable.
