Australia Captain Aaron Finch: 'There's Not Too Many Chinks in Virat Kohli Armour'

Ahead of the first of the three-match ODI series which begins Friday at the SCG, Australia captain Aaron Finch has heaped rich praise on Virat Kohli, saying the Indian skipper doesn't have "many chinks in his armour" and is probably the best one-day player of all time. ## Finch played under Kohli for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the recently concluded 13th edition of the Indian Premier League where the latter scored 466 runs in 15 matches. However, he looked far from his best in IPL 2020 where RCB reached the playoffs.## "If you look at his record it's second to none. It really is remarkable. I think what we have to keep in mind is that we have to keep looking to get him out", Finch said on Thursday about Kohli who averages close to 60 in all ODIs and 50 in 50-over matches in Australia.## "When you go away from that and you look to contain players you can miss a trick there. There's not too many chinks in his armour", said Australia's limited-overs skipper. ## "He's probably the best one-day player of all time so it's about sticking to our plans and being really committed in that regard", he added.## Stay tuned...
