"I love him off the field as well. It's about passion. I have got lot of faith in Virat Kohli. Whatever I've seen of him from the ground or TV, it gives me a lot of confidence." Kohli on Thursday struck his fourth century as captain from as many Tests to put India in command against Sri Lanka on day two of the first Test in Galle. In his maiden Test as captain, Kohli struck two centuries against Australia in the first match at Adelaide as India were on the verge of victory before losing by 48 runs. After Dhoni's sudden retirement, Kohli returned as skipper in the fourth and last Test in Sydney and scored another century.

Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly is bowled over by Virat Kohli's exuberance and passion to cricket and compared the Test captain to legendary footballer Diego Maradona. "One of my favourite sportsmen was Diego Maradona and every time I saw him play football you could see the passion in the heart. You see the same thing with Virat Kohli. I love his body language. I am a big fan of Kohli," an avid football follower, Ganguly said.
