NEW DELHI: With a plethora of records to his name, Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been one of the most prolific run getters for the Indian side. Kohli as a player has many records to his name and has always been the one to look out for. Kohli has already amassed 11,867 runs in ODIs. The swashbuckling batsman had become the fastest batsman to score 10,000 runs in 2018, achieving the feat in just 205 innings. But Kohli the skipper is yet to lay his hands on a major trophy. The flamboyant batsman has not picked up a major trophy as a skipper so far.
Recently, former cricketer Gautam Gambhir gave his take on Kohli the leader. Gambhir stressed on the fact that despite being one of the most consistent batsmen, the Indian slipper is yet to achieve that big trophy. Though Kohli is currently at the second spot in ICC rankings in Tests, his individual brilliance has yet to help the Indian Team reach great heights.
Kohli took over from one of India’s most successful captains, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. But despite guiding the side to the knockout stages, the Indian side failed to overcome the final hurdle and always remained within touching distance of the trophy.
Former Indian opener Gambhir believed that Kohli the captain is nowhere close to Kohli the player and that the Indian skipper still has a long way to go.
