India Today  

Australia’s World Cup-winning coach John Buchanan has remembered former India captain Sourav Ganguly as the leader who took the India-Australia rivalry to a whole new level.

Like Ganguly, Kohli has done the same thing for the Indian team,” Buchanan told Sportstar India will play a 4-match Test series to conclude the 8-week long tour down under and Buchanan remembers the last time the subcontinent side toured Australia.
