Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as India Test captain: Sanjay Bangar
According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for some more time in Tests. Virat Kohli Test (Image Credit- Twitter) Indian team’s experienced batsman Virat Kohli is considered one of the best players in the world. Virat Kohli’s performance in international cricket has always been tremendous. Not only this, Kohli has also left his mark as a captain. Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, India won the series in Australia. Not only this, India also won the Lord’s Test played in 2021. However, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian team has not won a single ICC trophy. According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for a little longer in Tests. Let us tell you, in September 2021, Virat Kohli resigned from the post of captaincy of T20. Not only this, shortly after this, he withdrew his name from the post of captaincy of all formats of India. Speaking on The Rao Podcast, Sanjay Bangar said, ‘My personal belief is that Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as Test captain. He should have captained India in a few more Test matches. I believe he had taken a decision on this matter long ago.’ The decision was not discussed in the right way: Virat Kohli Virat Kohli captained the Indian team in 68 Tests, out of which the team won 40 and their winning percentage was 58.82. Not only this, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian fast bowlers also bowled lethally and maintained their pressure on the batsmen of the opposing team. Under his captaincy, the team confirmed its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2021. In 2022, Sourav Ganguly was the President of BCCI and he had said that the board had appealed to Kohli to captain the T20 team. He also said that Kohli had rejected this appeal and the selectors are not fully ready for two different captains for white ball cricket. However, later Virat Kohli made a big revelation about this. Virat Kohli had said, ‘Whatever was told that we had taken this decision together was not correct. When I decided to step down from the captaincy of the T20 team, I first went to the BCCI. I told them the reason behind it. I was not told at all that I have to step down from the post of T20 captaincy. I was completely sure about this. At that time I had also said that I can also captain the ODI and Test team, but the officials felt that I cannot take this responsibility. I had told my side and left the decision to them.’ Pakistan’s luck is bad, they have not won a Test match for 1294 days These 5 Indian cricketers are addicted to alcohol Shikhar Dhawan did this trick to win the ‘Golden Bat’ 5 big records of Shikhar Dhawan, in this case he is ahead of Kohli Shaheen Afridi became a father, his wife gave birth to…

There may be a fight between Sunil Gavaskar and Jay Shah! Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma are the reason for this
Former India great Sunil Gavaskar believes Jasprit Bumrah is justified in being rested but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should have played the Duleep Trophy. Sunil Gavaskar Jay Shah (Source X) Sunil Gavaskar believes Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should have played in the first round matches of the Duleep Trophy 2024 before the two-Test series against Bangladesh starting on September 19. The names of many players were included in the four teams announced for the first round of matches starting on September 5, but these two star batsmen have not been included. The reason given is that Kohli and Rohit were given the option to play, but the two senior experienced cricketers decided not to participate in it. Jai Shah had said- “We should not put pressure on players like Rohit and Virat to play in the Duleep Trophy. This will put them at risk of getting injured. If you have noticed, not every international player plays domestic cricket in Australia and England. We should treat the players with respect.” Sunil Gavaskar is not convinced with Jay Shah’s words However, former India great Sunil Gavaskar believes that Jasprit Bumrah is justified to be rested, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should have played. He says that Rohit and Virat are getting older. They need to play as much as possible to stay in form. There are no more ODIs this year and both of them have retired from T20, so they needed preparation in the Duleep Trophy. “The selectors have not picked captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for the Duleep Trophy, so they will probably go into the Bangladesh Test series without much practice,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-Day. He further added, “While it is understandable that a player like Jasprit Bumrah needs to be handled with care with his delicate back, batsmen need to bat for some time in the middle.” “Once a player reaches the age of 30-plus in any sport, regular competition will help him maintain the high standards he has set. When there is a long gap the muscle memory weakens to some extent and it is not easy to get back to the earlier high standards.”
