'Virat Kohli should overcome this hurdle,' says Mohammad Kaif if he wants to become most successful captain

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has some issues he wants Virat Kohli to sort out if he wants to become a successful captain.

Taking Rishabh Pant as an example, Kaif said that the wicketkeeper was made to carry water bottles for the team instead of playing regular cricket.

“He should focus and back his team selection. If any player loses his form for some matches, still he should support them. Kohli should be looking to make players. Then only he can create a good team,” Kaif said as per a report on News18.

“Even for the Wicket keeping role, they are shuffling many players. India needs a permanent specialist wicket-keeper. KL Rahul can be a backup wicket-keeper but I don’t think he should be the main one.

“If you want to support Rishabh Pant over Dhoni, then Kohli should back him. He should not be the water boy of the team. Kohli and his team should overcome this hurdle.

“If it is so, Kohli will be the most successful captain when he retires.”

Kohli has taken India to the pinnacle when it comes to Test cricket while staking a dominant claim in limited-overs cricket. 

The batsman also became the first in India’s history to win a Test series in Australia.
