One of the main highlights of his leadership was how he managed his players and brought the best out of them. Even after quitting captaincy for more than one year, many Indian and RCB players still tout him as the best leader. 

Virat Kohli said that as a leader on the things he learned that he cannot make everyone happy as some won’t agree with him and will find their way, which he all but ignored. Speaking In an episode of PUMA’s Let There Be Sports documentary series, he said: 

“One thing I learnt from MS and other people that I have seen lead, also you cannot make everyone happy all the time. This is the absolute truth and why that happens is because certain individuals will not buy to the intensity of what you think immediately. So they tried to find their own comfortable ways, which you have to ignore because the vision is priority.”

RR vs RCB: “It’s not saying that this is my way,” Virat Kohli on how he approached different players as a leader 

Virat Kohli further explained how he used to approach different players as a leader to execute his plans in the right way. He said: 

“It’s not saying that this is my way. I have been given the responsibility, this is the plan as I feel this plan will make us reach the top and this is our path. I you have to tell someone to run, then you can tell someone, hey get up and run. You can explain to someone, you might such problems if you don’t do it. So it’s of no use, you will waste your time. 

“You are not making the most of your time, you eventually want to enjoy the game. All these small things matter. Get that guy around in a different way. But the goal is the same, they both have to run. But you can’t say, I will not do it. Because to reach there some 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th person is willing to work hard 10 times more than you.”
