”I will use his efforts and dedication”, Lara wants his son to be inspired by Kohli

“This (ODI) World Cup has been a joy to watch. First of all for Virat Kohli… I know a lot of people will say or have already said that it (Kohli’s performance) doesn’t matter as India didn’t win the World Cup,” he said.

Lara also added that Kohli has changed the face of cricket and his discipline is something that sets him apart from the rest of the pack.

“Team sport is about winning and you, as an individual player, should have that as your main goal. But part of team success is individual success, and that is what Kohli has given India match after match during the World Cup. Now that didn’t impress me, because the man is capable of much more. (But) what impresses me most about Kohli is his true legacy… Because he changed the face of cricket and the way you prepare for the game. The discipline he has always stands out,” he added.
