NEW DELHI: West Indies legend Curtly Ambrose, a renowned fast bowler of his era, has expressed strong optimism about modern-day batting maestro Virat Kohli's potential impact in the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in India.
"I have seen Virat for several years now and I do not need to tell you that he is a great player. And like every great player in history, he went through a lean period. But that does not mean he is finished or that he is over the hill or he is not the same player of old. He looked hungry to me, looked disciplined and fit. These are all important signs to observe. I think Virat can make a telling difference for India in the World Cup at home. He has all the talent and hunger to do so," Ambrose, reflecting on Kohli's form and abilities, said in a Revsportz's show.
