The way Kohli looks after Dhoni and the rest of the players is remarkable, says Ganguly
INDIA GREAT Sourav Ganguly believes that skipper Virat Kohli’s has a remarkable attribute of looking after his players.
The ‘Prince of Calcutta’ conceded that although he is far away from the dressing room, it is clear that the men in blue have the support of Kohli. Speaking at a book launch in Kolkata, ‘Dada’ said that is fantastic to see the prolific batsman back MS Dhoni during the presumably-fag end of the latter’s career.
“He (Kohli) is a fantastic captain. I don’t know what he does inside dressing room or what he does tactically, as I’m too far away (from the team). I don’t know what he speaks in team meetings but the way he looks after his players is remarkable. I keep saying about MS Dhoni and what I see of Virat on MS is fantastic. A champion player (Dhoni) who’s probably on his last leg of his career and Virat coming and saying that he’s my man and I want him to play. You just change a player.”
Speaking about Kohli captaincy, Ganguly labelled the Delhi-lad as a ‘top-class cricketer’ and divulged that he loves to watch the passion of the ‘champion player’
“He’s top class cricketer, one of the best India have produced for a long long time. He reaches out, he handles it well. I like Virat Kohli and when I see him on the field, I sit on my sofa and watch. I’ve said it many times he’s a champion player. When I see him captaining India, he wants to win in all conditions. He’s very passionate. Everyone has their own style. You have to allow an individual to blossom, allow to deliver.”
