Virat Kohli as a Captain: A thread.
He has been successful in forming a daunting India cricket team. Earlier, the middle order of India was weak and fragile and now with the likes of KL Rahul, Iyer and Manish Pandey- it is finally reliable. He has backed numerous young all-rounders like Shardul Thakur.
(1/2)
Shivam Dube, Deepak Chahar,Washington Sundar and fast bowlers like Navdeep Saini which shows his long term thinking for the team.

Please, IPL is not an international cricket, even in IPL, remember he scored 4 centuries and 973 runs including a century with a hand full of stitches in a 15 over game in 2016? but RCB lost so he is blamed.
International trophies is a stupid way to see how good a captain is, is Morgan a better captain than Kane? because of the world cup?
so please do not follow the bandwagons and please see the facts!
