He is always positive. I have not seen him to be negative even on a single occasion. He has a lot of self- confideince," he said about Kohli who had led India to the title triumph in the Under 19 World Cup in 2008.<br /><br />"If we meet, then obviously I will ask what were his preparations (for the 2008 event)," he said.<br /><br />The tournament starts on January 27 in Bangladesh. India are in Group D and would play against Australia, New Zealand and Nepal in the league stage. The team opens its campaign against Australia on January 28 at Mirpur. <br /></div>
