Ravi Shastri Virat Kohli
Indian Cricket Team: Virat Kohli is known as the best batsman in the world. He has written many records with his batting. But, he did not provide the team with the success expected of him as captain. Criticism of the captaincy is that the country has not won a single ICC title under Kohli’s captaincy. Kohli has recently stepped down as captain of the Team India T20 team. He captained the team in the format of the World Cup, and then said goodbye. Kohli’s decision was backed by former Team India coach Ravi Shastri. Shastri cited the example of Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar leaving the captaincy to focus on their batting.
Shastri states that it is very easy to spot mistakes in one’s work based on the results. However, Kohli’s success under his captaincy is something to be proud of. In an interview with The Week, Shastri said, “He is a great captain and strategically intelligent. People always make judgments based on results. The number of runs scored is calculated. You don’t even think about how you scored those runs. He has improved a lot in himself. Very mature as a player. Being the captain of Team India is not easy. We should be proud to have achieved that, ”he said.
This is happening to the best people.
Kohli said he was stepping down from the T20 captaincy due to workload to focus more on batting. Shastri said players like Sachin and Gavaskar had also given up the captaincy to focus on their batting. “100 percent. It only happens to the best people. I remember Gavaskar leaving the captaincy to focus on his batting. Sachin Tendulkar has also made similar decisions to improve his career.
