TIL Desk Sports/ Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly on Thursday hailed current captain Virat Kohli’s support for an under-fire Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the twilight of his 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,” Ganguly said during a book launch in Kolkata.
“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,” he added. A few former India cricketers, including VVS Laxman and Ajit Agarkar, recently raised questions about Dhoni’s T20I future, creating quite a storm in the country’s cricketing circles. Kohli, however, has said his friendship with Dhoni has grown immensely over the years and it’s a blessing to have him in the side.
