Virat is a class player. It would take time to find his replacement. But the rest, I was not surprised,” he said.Talking about former player Yuvraj Singh, Ganguly praised his extraordinary white ball cricket career keeping in mind his limited opportunities in Test matches.“I remember that Yuvraj first saw in Nairobi and saw what he was doing. After what he was doing for India, one -day cricket is untrue. He was a 2007 World T20 Player of the Series, 2011 World Cup, Series Players, Run, Wickets Fielding, He was special,” Ganguli said.“Unfortunately he did not get many opportunities in Test matches. He played about 30 odd Test matches, he was trapped between Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Ganguly and VVS Laxman, but a special player,” he concluded.
