Virat kohli admires Sourav Ganguly, this prediction was made before the 100th Test! At present Ganguly is in london spending time with his family. Former india captain virat kohli plays his 100th Test opposite to sri lanka on Friday.
He will join the set of 11 indian cricketers. bcci President Sourav Ganguly's name is also on this list. The relationship between bcci and virat kohli has soured for some time, but now Ganguly has praised virat kohli fiercely. Ganguly is on a family vacation in london these days. He is happy to welcome kohli to the 100-Test club and has promised to personally "watch Virat's 100th Test match" in Mohali.
When kohli made his limited-overs debut in 2008, Ganguly retired from Tests the same year. Ganguly said, I have not played cricket with him but I have always followed his game. When did his career start and how did it take a different turn after a few years? It has now moved towards greatness. virat kohli was seen in place of sachin tendulkar and kohli was the man who came forward to bat after Tendulkar was dismissed in the final Test in Mumbai.
I watched that Test series because I was working there as a commentator and after that, he did a remarkable job for five years. It usually happens like this. I have seen that between 2002 and 2005 this was happening with rahul dravid as well. Sachin had many such opportunities.
The special thing is that the Mohali Test match will be Kohli's first Test as a player only after seven years. Ganguly said he will come back and score a century. I know he didn't score a century for more than two years but he is such a good player that he doesn't go through it consistently.
He knows how to score a century. It will be interesting to see whether virat kohli manages to score a century in his 100th test by ending a two-year drought.
