Virat Kohli has earned a lot of praises for his brilliant captaincy in the recently concluded tri-series in West Indies and his coach Rajkumar Sharma believes that, \u201cVirat Kohli is a product of Ganguly\u2019s ‘School of Captaincy’. He drew the comparisons between the two as Virat focused on the aggression just like Ganguly, but his coach wants Kohli to take a leaf out of the Dhoni\u2019s book too.<\/p>\n
Sharma was quoted by Hindustan Times<\/strong> saying, “Virat is an aggressive player by nature. He is someone who always likes to attack and take the opposition head on which is also reflected in his captaincy. For me, Virat is in the Sourav Ganguly mould and likes to attack the opposition from the word ‘go’.”<\/p>\n Aggression and caution needs to go hand in hand when it comes to make a good captain and that\u2019s what he wants from Virat. “I am all for aggressive captaincy but I believe that he should also know the line that one shouldn’t overstep. If he does that, then I come into picture to make him aware,” Sharma analysed.<\/p>\n Kohli has done fantabulous job as a captain as he led the side to the finals of the tri-series but Sharma thinks that it\u2019s too early to take a call on who will fill the big boots of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He was quoted by Indian Express<\/strong> saying, “Dhoni is an exceptional captain and I believe that Virat still has a lot to learn from Dhoni although no two persons are the same and their thought process is bound to be different. I feel that till Dhoni is playing, he is the best man to lead India and Virat will certainly get it when his turn comes around.”<\/p>\n Since the last couple of years, Virat has evolved as a player which his coach finds the remarkable difference in him and wants him to show his matureness in every ball he plays.<\/p>\n “He had some problems but that was way back in 2008 during IPL-I. After that, he understood his mistakes and also worked hard on his game. He has matured a lot and that’s for everyone to see,” Sharma concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Virat Kohli has earned a lot of praises for his brilliant captaincy in the recently concluded tri-series in West Indies and his coach Rajkumar Sharma believes that, \u201cVirat Kohli is a product of Ganguly\u2019s ‘School of Captaincy’.

He added, “Age has got nothing do with captaincy. It’s more about how good one is when it comes to analysing match situation, reacting to it and also about leading from the front with good performances.”<\/p>\n
