Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is not really bothered about whether Virat Kohli has attitude problems as what matters at the end of the day is his “class” and the “runs that he scores” for India.
On the context of whether he is on the same lines as BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya about Virat’s behavioural issues, Ganguly replied, “You need to ask the BCCI president as to what he said on Virat. To me, he is a terrific player. That’s how I look at it. He is a young boy. He is just 26. Therefore, more he will learn, better he will get. At the end of the day, he is a class act.”
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Times of India Sports Awards, Ganguly said that Kohli should be judged for his qualities as a top class batsman and the runs he scores for India.
“I hope he continues to bat like the way he is doing right now. Every person is different and you got to treat them differently. I only look at the runs he scores and nothing else. I hope one day, he will lead the side to a World Cup title,” said Ganguly.
He skirted the issue of him taking up the India coach’s role.
