TIL Desk Sports/ India captain Virat Kohli has said that as a leader of his team, his focus is to take the team forward and not worry too much about the results as they don”t always determine the leadership qualities of a person. Team India is currently in New Zealand where they would be kicking off the tour with the five-match T20I series beginning Friday at the Eden Park.
“One thing that I have done is I just focus on what I can do for the team and the vision that needs to be there to take the team forward,” Kohli said on the eve of the series opener. The Indian skipper himself faces criticism for not being able to lead the side to an ICC title ever since he has been made the captain.
Kohli also praised New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, who has been under scanner following Black Caps” whitewash in the three-match Test series in Australia. “I don”t think leadership can always be determined by the results. It”s also about how you can get the team together and get the guys functioning under you as well, which I think Kane has done wonderfully well. “He has the respect of his teammates and he has the trust of his teammates, is what I can see, and he”s also a very, very smart cricketer,” the Indian skipper added.
