Kapil Dev Reacts on Steve Waugh's Comment on Virat Kohli

Former India world-cup winning captain, Kapil Dev dismissed Steve Waugh’s over the top comment on Virat Kohli during the South Africa tour.

Meanwhile, Kohli is an aggressive captain, and he loves to express himself on the field. Also, he is very animated on and off the field also.

The men in blues enjoyed a seven-week-long and a taxing tour of the Rainbow Nation. India came back stronger after going down 2-1 in the Test series. Virat Kohli & Co. scripted a historic 5-1 win in the ODIs and followed it with a 2-1 win in T20 format.

“I have seen him in South Africa, and I feel that he was little over the top. But that’s a learning thing for a captain,” Waugh said in Monaco.

Kapil Dev rejects Waugh’s comment:

However, former Indian all-rounder had a different opinion. He feels as long as Kohli is earning success as a captain, it is good enough.

“I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Steve has his opinion. I’m not going to respond to that. I feel as long as success is coming to the team, that’s good enough. Basically, our nation is a very soft nation. Virat is one of the few who have come out and changed the thought process. In fact, it was Sourav Ganguly who started changing our thought process. And then we had MS Dhoni, who was a totally different person. He was calm and quiet. So it’s what works for you. As long as success is coming on the field, that’s more important. I think Virat (Kohli) will mellow down as time passes. If not, that’s his decision. He’s always been like this ever since I saw him in his U-19 days,” Kapil said to Firstpost.

Kapil Dev further lauded Kohli for inspiring the team since he had taken over. In conclusion, he also praised the wrist spinners for their impeccable show in South Africa.
