TIL Desk Sports/ Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori feels India skipper Virat Kohli has instilled a lot of courage in wrist spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, calling it the primary reason for his phenomenal success in limited-overs cricket.
Vettori is currently the coach of IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore, which Kohli captains. Chahal is currently the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing ODI series against South Africa with 11 scalps in three games.
Speaking to the sidelines of the ‘St Moritz Ice Cricket Tournament’ here, Vettori attributed Chahal’s success to the risks he took during the IPL where he operated on a bowler’s graveyard like Chinnaswamy Stadium.
“Yuzi is a brave bowler and it’s not easy when you are playing a lot of IPL matches at a small ground like the Chinnaswamy, which is conducive to batting,” Vettori said.
“He is still prepared to attack the batsmen and this is a mindset that Virat has instilled in him while leading him at the RCB and now India. Surely, it’s paying dividends as we can see,” he added. A lot has been spoken about Kohli’s leadership style and what Vettori finds impressive is the Indian captain’s receptive attitude.
