Former Australian coach John Buchanan has heaped praise on Virat Kohli�s leadership skills by saying that the Indian captain instils greatness in the side even when he is not scoring runs. He also drew parallels between the captaincy styles of Kohli and former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly.

Virat Kohli became the first Asian captain to win a Test series Down Under when India beat the Aussies 2-1 in the 2018/19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Even though Chesteshwar Pujara was the Man of the Series with an aggregate of 521 runs from 7 innings, Buchanan, in an interview with Sportstar, credited the triumph to Virat Kohli�s captaincy.
John Buchanan, who also coached the Kolkata Knight Riders from 2008 to 2009, admitted that there are glimpses of Ganguly in Virat Kohli. He credited both of them for finding ways to win games against stronger oppositions.
While India will be fighting to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli will return to India after the pink-ball Test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his child.
