Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar took exception to Virat Kohli's comment that India began to stand up to tough Test challenges during Sourav Ganguly's era, arguing that the team was winning even when the current captain was not even born.
After India's crushing win in the second Test against Bangladesh, Kohli said India have learnt to stand up and it all "started from Dada's (Sourav Ganguly) team".
Not impressed with the thought of Kohli, former captain Gavaskar said, "The Indian captain said that this thing started in 2000 with Dada's (Ganguly's) team. I know Dada is the BCCI President, so maybe Kohli wanted to say nice things about him. But India were also winning in the '70s and '80s. He wasn't born then."
