The last few seasons have been sensational for Indian National Cricket Team across the formats. The team has grown from strength to strength to raise their bar in the International Cricket. Meanwhile, the chairman of selection panel MSK Prasad credits Virat Kohli for his captaincy skills and the bowlers rise in their standards.

Unlike the earlier Indian teams, Prasad believes that the current team isn’t completely dependent on batting section. He feels that the current team got the best bowling attack, which can take the 20 wickets of the opposition on any surface and against any opposition in the world.

Further, the chairman of selectors quoted that the team got a great leader like Virat Kohli, who never compromises on giving 100% effort. Further, he also lauded the fitness of the players, which made a massive difference in the performance of the team.

”The first and foremost point about this team is that it has a leader in Virat Kohli who doesn’t leave any stone unturned to win a game. There are no half-measures about the efforts this team puts in,” MSK Prasad said in an interview with SportStar.

”Earlier, we were always a team that used to bank upon our batsmen to win a series. Now, we have a team that has both fast bowlers and spinners who can pick 20 wickets a Test match on any surface and against any side in the world. Moreover, this is a fit team, very good in fielding and catching too and has excelled in all three departments of the game,” he added.

Virat Kohli is one of the greatest captain-cum-players around:

Speaking of the captaincy ability of Virat, Prasad quoted that the failure in England and South Africa have overshadowed the incredible captaincy skills displayed by the Indian skipper. He showered words of praise on him for delivering goods with his willow and also in captaincy role.

He also felt that the Indian skipper has raised the standard of the Tes cricket. Prasad lauds Kohli for sticking to Test cricket when the world is moving fast towards shorter versions of the game.

”With every passing game, we can see the growing maturity of Virat. Virat led extremely well in South Africa and England too. Unfortunately, the losses obscured his good leadership skills. But this series victory in Australia has put him on a higher plane as a leader. Personally, I feel Virat is one of the greatest captain-cum-players around,” he added.

Well, as the chairman of selectors said, Virat Kohli has done incredibly well for Indian National Cricket Team in the recent past. Hopefully, he would continue in the same manner in the upcoming ODI series against Australia followed by ICC World Cup 2019.
