5 major differences between MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli as Test captains

3.Picking fast bowlers over spinners

Someone like an Umesh Yadav has greatly benefited from playing under Kohli

Under Dhoni, there were many instances when it seemed like he preferred using spin bowlers that the quicker men.

One instance that comes to mind immediately is from the Nagpur Test against England in 2012, when he played as many as four spin bowlers - R Ashwin, Piyush Chawla, Ravindra Jadeja and Pragyan Ojha, and used Ishant Sharma as the sole pace bowling option.

However, since Kohli has taken over, the trend has changed, and under his leadership the quicker men seemed to have been given a higher priority.

Right from the time he took over, Kohli has shown a penchant for pace, whether it was fielding both Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron in Bangladesh in 2015 to playing four quicks in South Africa in the ongoing series.

He seems to have more of a liking to bowlers who clock 140kph than those who meander their way to bowling at 80-85kph.
