Pakistan bowling legend Waqar Younis has called India a force under the leadership of Virat Kohli in the run-up to next year’s ICC World Cup.
“I mean India will always be the force going into the World Cup because with Virat Kohli coming back, they will develop into a very good side,” Waqar Younis was quoted saying by Khaleej Times.
“Batting has always been there. Now the fielding standard has also been very high with all these youngsters showing their fitness and skills”, he added.
India beat Bangladesh in the final of the 2018 Asia Cup and Waqar was full of adulation for the Indian cricket team led by Rohit Sharma.
“Virat makes a massive difference at number three. But without Virat in the tournament, I think Rohit has done a wonderful job. He is very calm. His captaincy is growing every day. I have seen him do the captaincy in IPL as well. He is very calm. He likes to allow people to make their own decisions. He allows people to make their moves. He is a wonderful captain,” the former Pakistan coach added.
