Australia great Adam Gilchrist is not only a fan of Virat Kohli's batting but also his captaincy and he sees the star player taking the Indian team forward in all three formats for a long time. Gilchrist feels Kohli has added spice to the long-standing India-Australia rivalry, both with the willow as well as his leadership in Tests. "Virat is so impressive. He has learnt leadership in front of our eyes. When he is in charge (in Tests), he is very keen to fight fire with fire. I feel he is inspiring a nation and the team to go forward," Gilchrist, who is now Australia's Education Ambassador to India, told PTI. Though he lavished praise on Kohli and backed him to lead India in all three formats at some point, Gilchrist said one should never forget the contribution of Mahendra Singh Dhoni to Indian cricket.
