New Delhi: Hailing Virat Kohli as the "finisher for all time", former Australia captain Ian Chappell said the aggressive Indian batsman has surpassed legendary West Indian Brian Lara when it comes to "placement of shots".
"Of modern players, Brian Lara, I thought was the best placer of the ball. I think I have got Brian in the second spot now," Chappell told ESPNCricinfo in his post match analysis, after Kohli's classic 82 not out took India to the semi-finals of the ICC World T20 beating Australia.
