Former India head coach Ravi Shastri, whose tenure ended with the conclusion of the T20 World Cup has lavished praise on Virat Kohli and the contributions that he has made.
“No Indian cricketer has had the kind of success he has had in Test cricket. I don't think even on the world stage, he will be right up there with the great captains of all time when it comes to the success rate of a team,” Shastri said while talking to Republic.
“So why are we even talking about it? You know unless he doesn't want unless he feels that he needs to share the burden and focus on his batting and concentrate on his batting- only he will know,” he further said.
India bowed out of the T20 World Cup after losing three out of the five matches in the group stage. The defeats came against Pakistan and New Zealand respectively.
Former India captain Rahul Dravid has now been handed over the coach’s baton and he will begin his duties with the New Zealand series at home slated to begin on November 17.
