"If Kane Williamson were Indian, he would be the greatest player in the world. But he's not because you can't say Virat Koli isn't the greatest because you are totally harassed on social media. So you all say you have to follow a few more numbers. here to get more clicks and likes. Kane Williamson is the best in a different format. I think the way he plays, his calm demeanor, his humility, the fact that he is silent about what he does, "Vaughn told Spark Sport.
But the former British freak, Monty Panesar, saw the whole debate differently. According to the left-wing military, although both batsmen are world class, he rates the Collie slightly higher than his Kiwi counterpart.
"I think both are very good. Both can make the team stronger in any situation. If you look at the T20I and ODI, Virat Kohli is the best pursuer. But Kane Williamson is playing equally well in all three formats. I think his level is above Rohit Sharma but slightly below Virat Kohli. "If Kane were Indian, he would probably be the perfect replacement for Ajinkya Rahane in the trial battalion," Panesar told Sports Yaari.
Panesar went on to explain why he supported India and won the 5-0 Test against England. The first factor is that matches start in August which is the hottest time of the year. The second factor is that there will be five friendlies in a short period of time and India will do well if there is momentum, he added. Panesar.
Third, the sewing options in India are great. Not like before. And most importantly, since Alastair Cook's retirement, cotton has not done so well in England. ""
