Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli left the T20 captaincy in the year 2021 and later he decided to step down from Test and ODI captaincy as well. Virat captained the Test team for almost 7 years, while he played his role as captain for 5 years in ODI and Test. While talking about the captaincy of Virat Kohli, former Indian spin bowler Harbhajan Singh has given a big statement. He believes that Team India is currently playing brilliantly. The reason for this is Virat Kohli.
Harbhajan believes that Team India is taking advantage of the same fire that Virat Kohli lit during his days as captain. He said in his conversation that even if you do not win the World Cup under Kohli's captaincy, it does not make him a lesser player and captain. Referring to the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21, Harbhajan said that during the third Test, Virat Kohli had to leave the series midway due to family reasons. Ajinkya Rahane was made the captain in his place.
The fire that Virat set in the team, like achieving the target of 400 runs in the fourth innings of the Test without any panic. After this he recalled the Gabba Test, in which Rishabh Pant had shown a brilliant game and India won the match chasing more than 300 targets on the last day and won the series. This happened because the thinking of Team India had changed under the captaincy of Virat.
Virat Kohli has captained India in the maximum number of Tests so far. During this period, India has won the maximum number of matches under the captaincy of Virat. While captaining India in 68 Tests, Kohli won 40 matches, while India lost 17 matches. 11 matches were drawn.
Whereas MS Dhoni captained India in 60 Tests, in which Team India won 27 matches, while the team had to face defeat in 18 matches, while 15 matches were drawn under the captaincy of Captain Cool. After leaving the captaincy of Virat, Rohit Sharma is taking charge of India in Tests. Under his leadership, India participated in the 2023 final of the World Test Championship. But Team India had to face defeat at the hands of Australia.
