Indian Test captain Virat Kohli has hailed Indian government’s demonetisation move and has called it ‘the greatest move in the history of Indian politics’.
In a desperate attempt to tackle corruption, fake currency and black money in the country, Primer Minister on November 8 that all notes in denominations of Rs500 and Rs1,000 would be illegal in the country.
Speaking to the journalists ahead of the second Test against England, Kohli said: “For me, it’s the greatest move I’ve seen in the history of Indian politics by far, hands down. I’ve been so impressed by it. It’s unbelievable.”
The audacious move has been backed from all the quarters but there is no denying the fact that people are suffering due to it as they are finding it tough to get the cash for their daily usage and Virat Kohli is no different.
Speaking about an incident, he said: “I was taking out my old money while paying my hotel bill in Rajkot. I forgot that it’s not of any use anymore.
Well, the Indian batting sensation has a creative idea to make use of those notes.
He said: I could have actually signed on it and given it to people. It’s that useless now.”
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli’s men will look to make amends for their not-so-impressive performance in the first Test when they lock horns against England in the second Test at Vizag, starting tomorrow.
