The 32-year-old is yet to lead India to a title in a major ICC event. However, many experts have labelled Virat Kohli’s team as the best ever Indian team of all time.
David Gower thinks Virat Kohli as a captain is ‘up there’ with some of the best captains in modern-day cricket. However, the former England batsman also pointed out how leading Team India is a different challenge altogether.
The former England captain continued in this regard:
Virat Kohli and his team will have a glorious chance to win two major ICC events this year.
India have qualified for the final of the ICC World Test Championship, where they will lock horns against New Zealand. Later in the year, India will host the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled for October.
David Gower not concerned about Virat Kohli’s lack of hundreds
It has been almost 500 days since Virat Kohli last scored an international century. The Indian captain last reached the three-digit mark in 2019 against Bangladesh in November.
However, David Gower does read too much into that and believes Kohli’s reflexes or hunger hasn’t gone down.
Virat Kohli will once again be under intense scrutiny when he leads his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore in the upcoming season of the IPL.
RCB are one of three teams yet to win the IPL title. Virat Kohli and co. will open their IPL 2021 campaign against Mumbai Indians in Chennai on 9 April.
