John Wright likes Virat Kohli's passion and aggression for the game

The former Indian Coach, John Wright says that he has watched the Indian Cricket Team grow over the years. He believes that the series victory against South Africa is just a beginning for the young skipper, Virat Kohli. Wright believes the challenge ahead will be interesting.

In a recent interview, Wright was asked about Virat Kohli’s captaincy, his favourites for the upcoming World Cup and many more.

On being asked about what he feels about Kohli’s captaincy, the former coach said, “I’ve always liked Virat’s approach to the game he’s passionate, aggressive. I think you pick your best eleven and then pick your captain — he’s always going to be in your best eleven. He’s got huge shoes to fill but he’s obviously up for the job.”

Wright also spoke about the IND-SA series, and to most people’s surprise, like a few, he was in favour of those spinning tracks and believed that different countries should have different tracks to examine the techniques. According to him, the real challenge will be when India goes to South Africa.

“From what I understand, one of the wickets turned quite a lot but the rest weren’t too bad. At the end of the day, if you went to South Africa, you wouldn’t get wickets that turned. And if you come to India you’ve got to expect that. It’s not impossible for overseas teams to win here but it’s pretty difficult. I don’t think it’s a bad thing where countries have different conditions to examine technique.

“It’s good for a young team to get a series win — any series win against South Africa is difficult because they fight. The challenge will be when India goes back to South Africa,” Wright said.
