Virat A Lot Like Ganguly - Aggressive In His Approach: Zaheer Khan

Zaheer, who is among those few fortunate players to have played under Ganguly, believes that skipper Kohli is a lot like his first captain in international cricket - Sourav Ganguly

Team India is all to start the home leg of the World Test Championship vs Protaes. Ahead of the thrilling encounter, former India speedster Zaheer Khan said the current India team, lead by skipper Virat Kohli has one of the best bowling attacks in international cricket. Zaheer also stressed that it gives him immense happiness when Indian fast bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma perform consistently in all formats of the game. "These are exciting times to be a fast bowler in India. The likes of Bumrah, Shami, Ishant, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Navdeep Saini among others have proven the fact that the current Indian team is a powerhouse of bowling and it is by far the best bowling attack in the world. "It feels fantastic as a fast bowler and I hope they keep putting in the hard work and maintain the rhythm which has seen them achieve results," he said. Zaheer, who is among those few fortunate players to have played under Ganguly, believes that skipper Kohli is a lot like his first captain in international cricket - Sourav Ganguly. "Sourav made us believe that we can win oversees and inspired us to play with a lot of aggression. Dhoni was calm through tough situations, yet aggressive in his approach. We won the World Cup under him, so it was always very special playing under his leadership. "Virat is a lot like dada (Ganguly), he is expressive, bold in his decisions and always pumps the team up through crunch situations. His sublime batting form is always reflective of the way he leads the team on field. I wish to see him lift the World Cup for India one day," he explained.
