Former India captain Sourav Ganguly was all praise for India's one-drop Virat Kohli after his scintillating 113 helped beat Sri Lanka by 67 runs in the first ODI at Guwahati.

"I am very happy with the way he [Virat] compiled his century. It was a superb effort. It is just good to see the glow back on Virat's face," Ganguly told mid-day.

Ganguly, 50, expressed disappointment at India's spearhead Jasprit Bumrah not being able to recover from injury but calls for being patient with a player of such pedigree.

"He is a must for the Test series against Australia. Fast bowling is a tough job. Hopefully, he will recover soon. He should get enough time for recovery," Ganguly added.
