Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Simon Katich has praised team's captain Virat Kohli and said that he has all the credentials to become a coach himself in the future. The comment from Katich came after he revealed how the 32-year-old mentored youngster Devdutt Padikkal in the IPL last year. “Virat has achieved so much in the game and I am sure he has got a lot more goals to achieve with this India team. But with his sheer hard work, discipline and skill, Virat has all the credentials (for becoming a coach) and there is no doubt players would listen to him,” Simon Katich told BBC Sports.
