'Anushka Sharma Saw Him Literally Crying': Varun Dhawan Narrates Heartbreaking Virat Kohli Story

Virat Kohli is regarded as one of India's greatest captains as far as Test cricket is concerned. Under Virat Kohli's captaincy, the Indian cricket team became an immovable force as far as the longest format of the game is concerned. Virat's aggressive mindset coupled with coach Ravi Shastri's tactical brilliance made India one of the most feared side in world cricket. Under Kohli and Shastri, India also became one of the strongest touring teams in international cricket.

Virat Kohli's leadership capabilities touched newer heights when India defeated Australia in Australia for the first time in 2018-19 to clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Prior to the series, Kohli had said that no Australian team in Australia was weak, but his team made the series a one-sided affair. But the lead-up to the series was tough for India as they had lost an away series to England 4-1.
