VVS Laxman to Aakash Chopra, the calls to replace captain cool of India Mahendra Singh Dhoni from the T20 International squad of the Indian team has got a rise in past couple of days. Many veteran players have come forward who strongly believe that Virat Kohli needs to find the replacement of MS Dhoni from the shortest format of the game.
However, Indian skipper Virat Kohli had strongly hit back to Dhoni's critics and said that it is very unfortunate that people are pointing a finger at MS Dhoni because of his age. Impressed with the way Kohli had backed MS Dhoni's placement the former India skipper Sourav Ganguly applauded RCB captain for being outspoken in showing his support for MS.
While talking about the incident during a book launch Sourav said, "He (Kohli) is a fantastic captain. I don't know what he does inside dressing room or what he does tactically, as I'm too far away (from the team). I don't know what he speaks in team meetings but the way he looks after his players is remarkable."
"I keep saying about MS Dhoni and what I see of Virat on MS is fantastic. A champion player (Dhoni) who's probably on his last leg of his career and Virat coming and saying that he's my man and I want him to play. You just change a player," Ganguly further added.
When he was asked about Indian skipper he said, "He's top class cricketer, one of the best India have produced for a long long time. He reaches out, he handles it well.”
"I like Virat Kohli and when I see him on the field, I sit on my sofa and watch. I've said it many times he's a champion player. When I see him captaining India, he wants to win in all conditions. He's very passionate," Ganguly said.
