Virat Kohli’s Statement Created A Sensation
Team India could not win a single ICC trophy under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Thus, questions were often raised about Virat Kohli’s captaincy. In such a situation, Virat Kohli says that we used to reach the final of the Champions Trophy, the semi-final of the World Cup and the final of the World Test Championship (WTC Final), but even after this, I was called a failed captain.
Kohli Expressed His Pain
Before IPL 2023 (IPL 2023), RCB released its podcast series. In this, former captain Virat Kohli expressed his pain once again. In this podcast, the host asked Kohli, has it ever bothered you that you have not won an ICC trophy?
Virat responded, You always play to win the tournament. I captained in Champions Trophy 2017, World Test Championship 2021, and T20 World Cup 2022. We had reached the final of the Champions Trophy, the semi-final of the World Cup and the final of the World Test Championship, but even after that, I was called a failed captain.
Who Chose Virat As The Captain?
During the podcast conversation, Virat Kohli also said that he was chosen for captaincy by MS Dhoni. He said I used to give inputs during the field. I was also playing match-winning innings then, and because of these inputs, Dhoni learned about my seriousness about cricket. At the same time, he chose me as his successor; even when I later became the captain, our relationship remained the same, and there was respect between the two.
