The great thing you did was that you (Kohli) created a very strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty/X) A new era of Indian Test cricket began under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. India won 40 out of 68 Test matches, which is the most Test matches won by any Indian captain in history. Kohli changed the nature of the team and focused on the growth of fast bowlers. During Virat Kohli’s tenure, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav dominated in overseas conditions. Meanwhile, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has praised Virat Kohli for building a strong bowling line-up during his tenure. Virat has created a strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir During a conversation with BCCI, Gautam Gambhir told Virat Kohli, The great thing you did was that you built a very strong bowling unit. Test matches are won by taking 20 wickets. Unless you have a strong bowling line-up (one cannot win) and that is what makes you the most successful Test captain of the country. Credit goes to you. As a batsman, it is easy to have a strong six, seven batsmen, but the way you identified and more importantly, your attitude on the field with the fast bowlers. Winning overseas with bowlers like Shami, Bumrah, Ishant, Umesh. Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, India has won Test matches in England, South Africa and Australia, where the team used to struggle earlier. Let us tell you, Team India was number-1 in the ICC Test rankings from 2017-2021. Bumrah is the most complete bowler across all formats: Virat Kohli Talking about the bowling culture of Team India, Virat Kohli emphasized that Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. While Zaheer Khan is one of the legendary players. He described Bumrah as an all-format bowler and Mohammed Shami as the most important player in the Test team. When you talk about Ishant Sharma, the first thing that comes to my mind is the match he played against Ricky Ponting (during the 2007-08 tour) in Perth. If you talk about his cricket career, Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. Zaheer Khan has taken a lot of wickets for India in Test cricket and was brilliant in the 50-over World Cup. Mohammed Shami is not a world famous bowler because he is a great T20 bowler. He is one of the best Test bowlers in the world and what he did in the 50-over World Cup has increased his importance even more. Bumrah is the most complete bowler in all formats.

Raina believes that Virat Kohli’s bat will do well in the upcoming series. Quoted by Times of India, Raina said, “Rohit Sharma is a great captain. He has also proved this. Under his leadership, Team India has won the T20 series. However, everyone’s attention will be on Virat Kohli’s return to Test cricket. Kohli likes Test cricket a lot, he also respects this format.” Raina says that Team India has to play a total of 10 matches before the final match of the World Test Championship. Here Virat Kohli’s bat will work well and he will prove to be decisive for the country. In the upcoming series, the Indian team has to face teams like Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia. Kohli’s performance will improve further against the good bowling attack of the opposition team. Suresh Raina said that Virat Kohli excels under pressure. He will be the center of action during the tournament. The opposition team definitely has a strong fast bowling lineup, but you should remember that Kohli has shown his full potential against bowlers like Haris Rauf. He likes challenges and I am sure he will shine in front of the people in the upcoming series. India will be eyeing another WTC final India currently top the WTC points table with a win percentage of 68.52%. However, they have lost the last two consecutive WTC finals against New Zealand and Australia. India will look to secure their place in the final again by registering series wins in the upcoming series against Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia.
