3 reasons why Virat Kohli would have been a good choice to lead India for England series

Virat Kohli, India’s star batter, has announced his retirement from Test cricket. That decision came ahead of the 5-match Test series against England, which is scheduled to start on June 21. Kohli has been an asset to the Indian team and has set such high standards that the upcoming generation will not be able to reach them. The England series marks the onset of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2027 cycle. India are in huge trouble as skipper Rohit Sharma also retired from Test cricket. Hence, Kohli was the next best option for India as a captain. We will discuss the reasons behind this. 

Here are three reasons why Virat Kohli would have been a good choice to lead India:

1. Experience as a captain:

Kohli has been one of the best Test captains in the cricket world, and there is no doubt about it. He led India to 40 Test wins in 68 matches in his tenure. The right-hand batter’s experience would have helped India as he knows the opponents really well. His aggressive approach on the field and with the bat could have been an advantage for India.

2. Tactical Acumen in English Conditions

The right-hand batter has been a master of English conditions and played extremely well in the past. He has also led the team in many series. Kohli had the ability to plan swing bowlers really well, which would have helped the team. 

3. Motivational Presence

Virat Kohli’s presence on the field and in the dressing room is a blessing for the young generation. They could have played under him and learnt many things. Also, the way he motivates the team is extremely fantastic.
