NEW DELHI: Team India’s new superstar Virat Kohli feels that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has done a “commendable job” leading the national team in the past few years.
Not one to be drawn into a debate on Indian captaincy, Kohli said,”I don’t think one can question MS’s leadership. As Indian captain, he has never done badly. In fact, he has done a commendable job. As far as the captaincy is concerned, it is not something, which I should be concerned about. There is a selection committee that looks into the matter.”
Recently, Kohli spoke about how Dhoni has told him to stay calm and not cross the line too much.
When questioned whether, he should follow his instincts rather than follow someone else, Kohli stated,”It’s not about trying to change. It’s about what you can learn from someone.”
Kohli also seemed to be against the opinion that Gautam Gambhir might only be a suitable captain for Test matches.
“Gautam has done wonderfully in all three formats. He knows how to change gears and led well in IPL also.”
The youngster also wasn’t too bothered about the fact that he has missed out on the Arjuna awards because of the miscommunication between sports ministry and BCCI. (PTI)
