New DelhiVirat Kohli may have stepped down as Test captain. But his fans have not diminished. Former Australian captain Ian Chappell has praised former India captain Virat Kohli. He termed Kohli, the former captain of Team India, as an extraordinary captain. Chappell said that Kohli took the Indian team to a higher level. At the same time, English captain Joe Root was called a good batsman but not the captain.
Ian Chappell said that the way of captaincy of Virat Kohli and Joe Root is completely different, if we talk about Virat, then the development of Rishabh Pant is the biggest example. Chappell said that there is no doubt that Kohli was an exception as captain. He did not curb his enthusiasm but still he was able to take the Indian team to a higher level. With the help of a good ally in the form of vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, he led India to success overseas, something no other captain has done.
Ian Chappell said that Virat Kohli carried forward the legacy of Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni in the right way. He carried his team on his shoulder for seven years. After losing to Australia in the same Ashes series, England’s captain Joe Root’s captaincy is constantly being questioned, in such a situation, Australian legend Ioya Chappell also raised questions on his captaincy.
He said that despite leading his country in more matches than any other captain, the name of failure in captaincy is Joe Root. It doesn’t matter what Root or any other outspoken England fan tells you. Root is a good batsman but a weak captain.
