Veteran Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that he doesn’t think that Virat Kohli is under any sort of pressure as far as captaincy is concerned.
“I don’t think Kohli is under any kind of pressure with captaincy, don’t think it’s a burden for him. I think he enjoys those challenges,” he said.
“He is a leader, who leads from the front and sets an example for the team to do the needful; for the team to win games,” the Punjab man added after Team India’s consecutive loss at the hands of hosts Australia.
With this loss in Sydney, the Aussies attained an unassailable lead in the three-match series before the third and final game in Canberra.
Refraining from any comments on Rohit Sharma as potential captain, 36-year-old Bhajji, however, hinted that these two are the ones leading Team India.
“One guy cannot win you the game. As I said, even after the World Cup, you know you have Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, standing and taking the team forward and scoring most of the runs,” Bhajji explained.
Rohit is being touted as the next captain after Kohli has now had his second ODI series loss in a row, not to mention how his IPL team’s performance is also playing a part in pushing the issue.
