Australian great picks Virat Kohli’s biggest ‘master stroke’ as Test captain

On Sunday, Australia’s great Ian Chappell pointed to former India captain Virat Kohli’s greatest achievement as a Test cricket leader. Chappell didn’t point to any series wins, or specific Test wins, but chose Kohli’s development of a young player during his time as Test captain, calling it a “trick”.

Kohli resigned as Test captain following the 2-1 defeat in South Africa earlier this month, ending his tenure as the fourth most successful captain in Test history by wins. He is also India’s most successful skipper, winning more tests in SENA and overseas than any other skipper.

However, Chappell noted in his ESPNCricinfo column that one of Kohli’s great accomplishments has been instilling a love of traditional game formats. He further added that Kohli motivated his men to win in Test cricket as seen in their desire to succeed.

“One of Kohli’s great achievements has been instilling a desire for Test cricket in his team. Despite his all-encompassing success, Kohli’s main goal is to win in the Test arena and that’s where his passion really shines. There is no doubt that Kohli pushes his men hard, but it is clear that they like to compete and want to succeed,” he wrote.

Former Australia captain Chappell pointed out that despite his numerous individual achievements as Test captain, Kohli’s greatest achievement was the development of Rishabh Pant.

“Kohli has many personal accomplishments on his CV, most importantly Rishabh Pant’s development as a wicketkeeper and batsman. Kohli tends to go his own way when it comes to selection and some of his decisions in this regard are a bit questionable , but there is no doubt that his support for Pant was a brilliant blow,” he wrote.
