On Wednesday at Centurion, Kohli, after his first series loss, was getting an idea about the scrutiny a defeated Indian captain goes through. He wasn’t ducking the questions but everyone wasn’t convinced by his answers. It was a half-an-hour interaction that explained why MS Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly got alarmingly grey after away tours. Two of the most successful skippers had their moments but they couldn’t get past Indian cricket’s final frontier series wins in South Africa and Australia.
Kohli’s team had a chance to create history. The year that will see them travel abroad extensively has started disastrously. Two botched-up chases in pursuing very achievable below-300 targets it was 208 in the first test at Newlands and then it was 287 in the last game at Centurion which had a common resulted in losses and the subsequent media grilling about his decisions. Skipper Virat Kohli couldn’t show anything special in the final inning nor Virat Luck did not even work. We are talking about his lucky charm Anushka Sharma, before marriage of Virushka, team India have lost a single test in couple of year under the captaincy of Virat. And beautiful honeymoon after marriage Virat as captain face first series defeat. The Final test match will begin on 24th of January.
