BCCI president Sourav Ganguly accepts that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be back in the scoring form sooner than later, and despite the fact that he conceded that he doesn’t have the foggiest idea what is turning out badly for the former India captain with regards to his batting, however, he trusts that Kohli will recapture his form. In nine matches, Kohli has scored only 128 runs at 16.00 with two first-ball ducks up until this point.

Talking about the competition in this year’s IPL, Ganguly said:

“Oh, it’s very interesting, I am watching [the IPL]. Any team can win and everyone is playing well. The two new teams – Gujrat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants  – are doing well. Umran Malik’s bowling has been eye-catching. Umesh Yadav too has bowled well and so has Khalil Ahmed. I would say Umran Malik has been the outstanding face of the league so far.”
