Just like Ganguly, Kohli backs youngsters really well: Irfan

TIL Desk Sports/ Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes Virat Kohli is very similar to Sourav Ganguly when it comes to backing the youngsters.

“He (Virat Kohli) is very similar to Sourav Ganguly as well. A guy who backs his youngsters really, really well,” Irfan said while speaking on Star Sports show. “Virat Kohli has that aura about him that he goes out of his way to back the youngsters.

“We have seen that with Rishabh Pant, we have seen the press conferences, he goes to and says, ‘No, we need to back a guy like Rishabh Pant purely on his potential’,” he added.
