"We have a captain who leads from the front," said India's Test No. 3 Chete-shwar Pujara about his skipper Virat Kohli.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the Dr DY Patil T20 tournament in Nerul, where Pujara is the leading run-scorer so far with 178 in three matches, which includes a century and a fifty, he said: "Virat excels in all the aspects of the game and works on all departments. He shows others the way and always leads from the front."
Kohli had a splendid run in Tests last year and the last few months have been good for Pujara too as he managed three centuries in the home Test series against New Zealand and England. Now, he is looking to raise the bar against in the upcoming one-off Test against Bangladesh and the series versus Australia. "Yes, I am looking to continue in the same form - probably try and do even better than what I did against New Zealand and England. I can say that I have learnt from some of the mistakes that I made during the last two series and will continue working on my game. Australia will be a challenging team, but we are playing well as a team and we have done well against New Zealand and England," he said.
