"Kohli is a fantastic player. He will do well this time. I am happy that he did not play county cricket before the England series. I think he was eager to play county (ahead of the series) because he was panicky after not having a good tour last time around. He is too good a player to miss out this time," Ganguly told PTI.

"India's chances are bright but England are also in good form. It will be a closely contested series," he reckoned.

Ganguly fully concurred with Tendulkar, saying bowling with two new balls take reverse swing out of the equation. "Yes two news balls do take reverse swing out of the picture because the ball doesn't get old enough to reverse. Reverse swing is also dying because the grounds are a lot greener today. The balls don't get scuffed up enough. They don't get dry and rough on one side for the reverse to happen," Ganguly said.
