INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
India lost the fifth and final Test by 118 runs despite heroic resistance from opener KL Rahul (149) and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant (114) in
the second innings
After the series loss, captain Virat Kohli has faced criticism but managed to find support in former skipper Sourav Ganguly
Ganguly, who was known for his man-management skills, urged Virat Kohli to identify potential players and give them a time to settle
down."More than post-mortem, it is important to recognise talent here
It is important for every team to move forward
I believe that the kind of batting that the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara, Rahane and Rahul have done in this series, they are 10 times better
cricketers
Kohli needs to bring the best out of his players
It is a big responsibility of a captain to take the players along as you move ahead," Ganguly was quoted by India TV as saying."If the
captain puts his arms around a player's shoulder and says that he wants the player to win him games, the performance will automatically
improve
That atmosphere needs to be there
Identification of talent is very important," Ganguly said.Kohli, who ended the England tour on a high, has been rested for the upcoming Asia
Cup tournament
In his absence, Rohit Sharma will be leading the team.The 29-year-old scored 593 runs in five Tests at an average of 59.30, including two
centuries and three half-centuries.
