Sir Vivian Richards, one of the most iconic figures in cricket history, has always been admired for his fearless batting and magnetic personality on and off the field. Known for his swagger and unmatched aura in the 1970s and 80s, Richards set a standard of confidence for future generations. Recently, the legendary cricketer opened up about who he considers the most stylish player in the modern era.

In a candid remark, Richards praised Indian superstar Virat Kohli’s sense of style and charisma beyond the boundary line. He made it clear that he admires the Indian run-machine not only for his cricketing exploits but also for his personality and fashion choices. Coming from Richards – who himself was known as one of the most stylish sportsmen of his time – this is a huge compliment to Kohli’s influence.

Kohli has often been celebrated as much for his sharp dressing and fitness-driven lifestyle as for his batting brilliance.

His impeccable sense of fashion, ranging from casual streetwear to elegant formal looks, has made him a role model for millions of fans worldwide.

Both Richards and Kohli share an attitude of fearlessness – Richards with his dominance in an era of hostile fast bowling, and Kohli with his aggressive batting in modern cricket. With Richards acknowledging Kohli’s style statement, it’s yet another reminder of how the Indian maestro continues to inspire across generations.
