BCCI President and former India captain Sourav Ganguly heaped praise on star batter Virat Kohli and said that the 33-year-old is more skillful than him as a player.
Kohli scored a magnificent 122 runs off 61 balls as India registered a 101-run win in their final Super Fours game on Thursday. This was Kohli’s first international century since 2019.
“The comparison should be in terms of skill as a player. I think he is more skilful than I’m. We played in different generations, and we played a lot of cricket. I played in my generation, and he will continue playing, probably playing more games than I did. Currently, I have played more than what he has but he’ll get past that. He is tremendous,” said Ganguly.
This is not the first time the BCCI President has backed Kohli. Ahead of the Asia Cup, in an interview with India Today, Ganguly hailed the star batter as a big player and said that he would find form during the tournament.
“Let him practice, let him play matches. He is a big player and has scored plenty of runs. I am hopeful that he will make a comeback. He is just not being able to score a century and I believe he will find his form in the Asia Cup,” said Ganguly.
