The ODI World Cup 2023<\/strong><\/a> has witnessed some breathtaking cricketing action, showcasing remarkable performances from players and teams across the globe. In the midst of this excitement and fervour, former South Africa captain Graeme Smith<\/strong> has revealed his choice for the best white-ball cricketer, a player he believes exceeds the legendary Sachin Tendulkar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Smith\u2019s name is synonymous with leadership and exceptional batting prowess. He is not only one of South Africa\u2019s greatest cricketing legends but also a world record holder. With 109 Test matches as captain under his belt, he holds the record for playing the most Test matches as skipper. Smith\u2019s leadership skills are further underlined by his remarkable 53 wins in Test matches.<\/p>\n Apart from this, Smith\u2019s credentials are equally impressive as a batter, having amassed over 16,000 runs across various formats, accompanied by a staggering 37 centuries. His enduring commitment to cricket is further highlighted by his current role as the SA20 League Commissioner.<\/p>\n In the midst of the ODI World Cup 2023, Smith recently made headlines by picking the best white-ball cricketer. The South Africa great named India\u2019s Virat Kohli<\/a> as the best of all in limited over and emphasized that he surpassed the iconic Sachin Tendulkar<\/strong> according to him.<\/p>\n \u201cVirat\u2019s career has been incredible. But I think when you dig into his one-day stats and record, it is mind-blowing. I think the quality that he has produced right through his international career, in my opinion, he exceeds Sachin,\u201d<\/em> said Smith.<\/p>\n Smith\u2019s high praise for Kohli did not end with the statistics. He also lauded the Delhi-born cricketer\u2019s ability to perform under pressure, especially in chase situations.<\/p>\n \u201cVirat is brilliant, particularly with chases. The way he controls chases, his ability to play a one-day game no matter what the situation is around him, and he is a key figure along with Rohit Sharma at the top of the order in terms of managing pressure as the tournament goes on and how well they play with the bat; he\u2019s just a superstar,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n It is worth mentioning that Virat is currently representing India in the ODI World Cup 2023 and is on the brink of equaling Sachin\u2019s record of most ODI centuries. With 48 centuries to his name at the time of this revelation, Kohli has firmly established himself as one of the modern greats in the limited-overs format.<\/p>\nGraeme Smith: A legendary captain and batter<\/h2>\n
