New Delhi, May 17: Former India captain and legendary batsman Rahul Dravid lauded current India skipper Virat Kohli's leadership skills and illustrious career.

During a Star Sports, ReImagine Awards, the 46-year-old cricketer from Karnataka on Kohli's current form said, "Virat, you know he just keeps improving, keeps getting better. He is setting bars and standards that possibly we thought would never be achieved. Sachin (Tendulkar) scored 49-50 hundreds in one-day cricket. People thought that this would take a lot of time to achieve. Will it be ever achieved and now Virat is 10 away from it or close to it.

"One of the things about Virat is that even if he has a bad tour, it is not that he hasn't had bad tours, he had disappointing tour of England in 2014, he wasn't as successful in Australia first time around, but every time he goes back again he goes back as a better player. He sort of reinvents his game to a point where he is constantly improving," Dravid said.
