Virat Kohli can be a great batsman. But former West Indies fast bowler Winston Benjamin has said in his interview that I don’t think he is the best captain.
Virat Kohli is definitely one of the greatest players in the history of cricket, not just contemporary cricket. There is no doubt about it. Because he has created various records with his batting and won the ICC Player of the Year award consecutively.
He has captained the Indian team in Tests since 2014 and Limited Overs since 2017 for more than 5 consecutive years. The captain has won 65 of the 95 ODI matches for the Indian team. He has won 30 out of 50 T20 matches.
He has led the Indian team to win Test series in England and Australia. It was under his leadership that the Indian team won the Test series in Australia for the first time. In particular, it has captured twice.
In this case, former West Indies fast bowler Winston Benjamin said that Virat Kohli is the best batsman, but not the best captain, which has surprised many people. He said,
“Frankly, Virat Kohli is the best batsman. But I don’t think he was the best captain. I would say without any doubt that Virat Kohli is the best batsman cricket has ever seen. I think I might face a lot of criticism before I say it. But frankly speaking, Virat Kohli’s captaincy has only seen declines every year. Indian cricket history has seen better captains than Virat Kohli. Based on that I would say he is not a great captain just by making some comparisons. Virat Kohli’s approach is the same in all matches, which has backfired. That is one reason.” said.
