Captain Kohli led from the front at Chepauk
Virat Kohli faced a lot of criticism for his captaincy in the last Test. The Indian skipper, however, silenced his critics through his excellent leadership skills in the second Test at Chepauk. Right from the team selections to the field placements, Kohli was sensational throughout the match. After getting out on a duck in the first innings, he also revived India’s second innings through a flawless 62-run knock on a rank-turner. Reflecting on his batting in the post-match conference, Virat said, “I take a lot of pride in improving myself and correcting my mistakes quickly. If I make an error, I make sure I iron it out in the next innings.”
