MUMBAI: Former cricketer VVS Laxman on Thursday heaped praise on current Test skipper Virat Kohli , saying the Delhi batsman possessed strong basics and is a complete batsman in all formats of the game. He is a conventional cricketer and has got strong basis," said the retired batsman while delivering the Dilip Sardesai memorial lecture. "I feel Virat has a long way to go in Test match cricket and he will break all records. For me any great bowler or a great batsman or great cricketer is when you win matches for your team and Ashwin has just done that in the last four years. Also the ball they used in the Duleep Trophy was a different one to what they used in the New Zealand-Australia Test match in Adelaide.
