Mike Hussey on Virat Kohli

New Delhi, May 27: Former Australia batsman Mike Hussey said that Virat Kohli may have had a quiet IPL by his standards but opposition teams can take the Indian captain lightly during the Champions Trophy at their own peril.

Hussey said in an event organized by ICC "He is a class player and anyone who wants to write him off in this tournament will probably have to eat humble pie! You can't keep a gun player down for long and I am sure he will be very determined to play well in England and show the world his class again."



'Mr. Cricket' is confident that the form of top Indian batsmen will have no bearing on the defending champion's chances.

"I don't think it will have much effect at all. It is a new tournament in a different country, different team, and different conditions. It's all about starting well, getting some momentum and confidence going early in the tournament," said Hussey.

The two-time World Cup winner's tips for the Indian batsmen is to play as late as possible, unlike Australia where one can meet the deliveries on the rise.
