The Board of Control for Cricket in India's Centre of Excellence (CoE) head VVS Laxman has heaped praise on Team India's superstar Virat Kohli. The former cricketer called the Delhi-born cricketer a "great role model".

Speaking during a press conference in Bengaluru, the BCCI's CoE head said, "I think there is no doubt that Virat is an exemplary professional. And the standards he sets for himself are something which he tries and goes out every time he plays (for) whichever team to meet those standards".
