India vs New Zealand 2019, captains' corner: Virat Kohli vs Kane Williamson- Who’s better?

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is currently the best batsman in the world in all formats of cricket. This man is a run-machine that keeps minting the runs regardless of the opposition and conditions. While Virat’s skills as a batsman are beyond criticism, his captaincy has always been under scrutiny and is viewed as a work in progress.

In an interview with a famous anchor, Kohli stated that he was always the captain of the teams he played for. Be it the age-group cricket, state cricket or international cricket. The tattoed youngster was earmarked for future success and captained the side temporarily in Dhoni’s absence. Virat Kohli received full power in ODIs in January 2017. Kohli’s record as an ODI captain is astounding.

In 60 matches that he has captained, India’s regular number three has scored 3,665 runs at an astronomical average of 85.23. He has added 17 centuries in this period with 13 fifties. India have been victorious on 44 occasions while it has faced defeat 14 times under Kohli’s leadership. The prolific batsman has been named the Man of the Match 12 times in his captaincy span. Virat wears his heart on the sleeve.

His mood inevitably appears on his face, and it is easily predictable whether he is agitated or happy. The super batsman is eccentric in his team selection and never fears to make unpopular decisions. He has been bashed and praised for these.
