Sourav Ganguly hardly showed emotions, Virat Kohli comes with controlled aggression: Venkatesh Prasad

India TV News  

Former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad on Wednesday opined on the difference in captaincy styles of former skipper Sourav Ganguly and present incumbent Virat Kohli. “I think Sourav and Virat are pretty much on similar lines, because Sourav also took up captaincy when there were a lot of negative things going around the team. He transformed the team.” Prasad further added that he never saw Ganguly expressing his emotions, barring a few times, on the field like Kohli. Virat comes across as a very, very passionate guy, and comes with controlled aggression,” Prasad said.
