IPL 2019: Sourav Ganguly on whether Virat Kohli deserves to be Royal Challengers Bangalore captain or not
Sourav Ganguly expressed that Virat Kohli deserves to be the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and that he will change the fortunes of the team.
Former Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir made a bold statement about Virat Kohli getting a long rope as Royal Challengers Bangalore captain, despite the team failing to win a single title so far. Gambhir said that Kohli is lucky to have the backing of the franchise for so many years.
“There are people who have won the trophy three times. MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. So I think he has a long way to go. You cannot compare him to someone like Rohit or Dhoni at this stage. He has been a part of RCB, and captaining RCB for the last seven to eight years, and he has been very lucky and should be thanking the franchise that they stuck with him. Because not many captains have got such a long rope where they haven’t won a tournament,” said Gambhir.

However, former India captain Sourav Ganguly expressed that Virat Kohli deserves to be the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and that he will change the fortunes of the team.
“If you talk about Virat Kohli and keeping him as a captain, just look at what he has done. What he has done with the bat in every format of the game. Absolute champion. And he deserves to be captain of RCB for whatever period of time. I am sure he will turn it around,” said Ganguly.
