Ahead of the start of the Test series against Australia, former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman has said that Kohli has still a lot to learn as a captain while lauding him for his remarkable consistency with the bat.
“Virat Kohli’s performance speaks for itself. Even in the first Test match he captained in Adelaide in 2014 he went for the win and I was happy with the approach he showed. That also shows his personality which is very positive, aggressive and he is always looking to create an impact,” Laxman said talking about Kohli’s captaincy as quoted by India Today.
He also said that Kohli is still work in progress as a captain and will learn a lot with more tours overseas. “That attitude has rubbed on to the rest of the boys. With more success on overseas tours he (Kohli) will gain more experience as a captain. I definitely feel he is a good captain in the longer version. He relishes challenges and loves the responsibility,” Laxman said.
“I have seen some captains succumb to the extra pressure but in Kohli’s case it has enhanced his performance and his reputation as a batsman since the time he started leading the team. I believe he is a good captain but still work in progress,” he added.
