Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has praised current skipper Virat Kohli. He congratulated Kohli after he guided the Indian team to series wins against England in all three forms of the game. Gavaskar recently attended the ML Jaisimha Foundation in Hyderabad. In his lecture, the cricketer-turned-commentator also named his “most glamorous” Indian captain of all time.

Sunil Gavaskar picks Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi over Virat Kohli as “most glamorous”

Even though Sunil Gavaskar praised Virat Kohli and co. by describing them as the “best Indian team ever”, he did not think of the current skipper as India’s “most glamorous” captain. Gavaskar was of the opinion that no Indian player has had the “charisma” of late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. He added that he has been watching Indian cricket since 1960 and even claimed that Pataudi was among his best friends earlier in his career.

Sunil Gavaskar said that Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, famously nicknamed as Tiger Pataudi, used to teach his teammates to go for the sliding stops while fielding on “bumpy playfields”. According to the cricketing legend, the late cricketer asked his teammates to do the same in order to avoid any injuries.

The modern-day batting icon can often be seen sharing pictures where he is either flaunting his fitness levels or his stylish apparel accessories. Here is a look at some snippets from Virat Kohli’s daily life.
