Kolkata: Former India skipper & current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly heaped praise on India captain Virat Kohli by calling him a ‘champion player’.
“India is a good team. They are playing well. Yes, I know they have not won a big tournament but they played well in the big tournaments except the semis and the finals. So, hopefully, Virat can change it around. He is a champion player,” Ganguly told reporters.
The ‘Men In Blue’ were knocked out in the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 after facing a loss against New Zealand.
Ganguly expressed his desire to focus on first-class cricket because it is the base of the Indian cricket.
“My biggest priority is first-class cricketers. We will change their lives because that is the most important thing. They are the base of Indian cricket. We only look at the top but we will have to look at the bottom and we will change it,” he said. See the full conversation here:
