A tough tour of England four years ago made Virat Kohli panicky while preparing for the upcoming series, Says former India captain Sourav Ganguly.
“Kohli is a fantastic player. He will do well this time. I am happy that he did not play county cricket before the England series. I think he was eager to play county (ahead of the series) because he was panicky after not having a good tour last time around. He is too good a player to miss out this time,” Ganguly said.
Virat has moved on from what happened in England four years ago when he could only muster 134 runs in 10 Test innings at 13.40. Kohli has been supremely successful in South Africa and Australia, making England a territory to conquer.
And, Ganguly thinks both captain and the team will do well in the five Test series.
“India’s chances are bright but England are also in good form. It will be a closely contested series,” he reckoned.
