Australian cricket legend Ian Chappell has hailed Virat Kohli as the best batsman in the world at the moment

'India has added a new dimension to their game with the fast bowlers — even minus Jasprit Bumrah — playing a huge part in a home victory,' said Ian Chappell

'This move makes a lot of sense. As a one-day opener Rohit (Sharma) has established himself as the next most dangerous batsman to his team-mate (Virat) Kohli. The move to opening means that he bats ahead of Kohli in Test matches, and this is crucial to revitalising his career in the longer format,' said Ian Chappell

'For starters, drastic increases in temperature will add to the health dangers for players. There's nothing more frustrating than a game delayed by rain, but imagine if players are off the field because the sun burns too brightly,' Ian Chappell said

'When you hit 70 you feel (vulnerable) anyhow, but I guess I've got so used to bloody skin cancers over the years, and the fact that none of them have been melanomas, probably provides a bit of comfort. It may be naivety on my part,' Ian Chappell said

Pujara has so far scored 521 runs in seven innings in the test series so far. He has faced 1,258 deliveries in the process, breaking Rahul Dravid’s record of most deliveries faced in a Test series in Australia.
