Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has asserted that skipper Virat Kohli has made a special place for himself 'among the Indian greats.' Speaking at the MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture, the 53-year-old further praised Kohli for his phenomenal batting skills.

"Even among Indian greats now, he's finding a special place. It's amazing. You talk about dirty Varanasi waters, but Indian waters keep producing these kinds of phenomenal batting talents, year after year, generation after generation,' the International Cricket Council (ICC) website quoted Manjrekar, as saying.
