“Initially, you need to be a very good player to get there,” Ganguly said in an exclusive conversation with Hindustan Times.com. “Very few people have played 100 Test matches in Indian cricket. This is a wonderful landmark. Virat is a great player and deserves every part of it.”
When Kohli had a bad season in England in 2014, Dada was present as a commentator. He remembered that tour and how Kohli really improved over the next five years. “His technique, his positivity, his footwork, his balance… I love it all,” he said. “Most of all, the way Virat changed his game in England after 2014, when he was struggling. I watched that Test series because I was working there as a commentator. And he had a remarkable five years after that. It usually happens like this. I saw that between 2002 and 2005 with Rahul Dravid. You see great players in these stages where they are at their peak. Sachin had many.”

In between, he led India to a series win in Australia and came really close in England. “It needs some adjustments. But I don’t think it’s too difficult,” Ganguly said. Didn’t score a century till time. But he is such a good player that doesn’t go through it continuously. He will go through this phase too. He knows how to score a century otherwise he wouldn’t get 70 of them. As a former player “I know he will start scoring them again. He has huge potential, so it’s just a matter of time.”
