Important for Kohli to continue as captain, says Amarnath

Important for Kohli to continue as captain, says Amarnath

TIL Desk Sports/ India might have lost the inaugural ICC World Test Championship against New Zealand but former all-rounder Mohinder Amarnath believes skipper Virat Kohli has done a ‘fantastic job’ and it is important that he continues to lead the squad.

A brilliant performance by New Zealand’s seamers and a composed run chase by Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor ensured the Kiwis made history by beating India to be crowned the first-ever World Test champions.

Former selector Mohinder lavished praise on Kohli and added that he sees West Indies legend Viv Richards and former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting in the Indian captain.

“Virat Kohli is a great player and a very good captain also. We shouldn’t be emotional, we have many expectations and when our expectations don’t get fulfilled we start looking for something on which we can put the blame,” Amarnath said.
