Kohli natural choice to succeed Dhoni, says Ganguly

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Friday said that Virat Kohli’s elevation to captaincy across all formats will bring success to the team in equal measure.

Terming Kohli as a natural choice to succeed Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ganguly said: “He is the right successor (to Dhoni) in one-day Internationals and T20Is. He will be equally fantastic, there’s no doubt about that.”

Veteran Yuvraj Singh also staged a comeback after nine months.

“It’s a great thing he (Yuvraj) has been included in both the formats. I’m confident he will get some runs and succeed,” Ganguly said, hailing the inclusion of Yuvraj in both ODI and T20I sides.
