Here we will talk about that great cricket player Virat Kohli who has won many matches single-handedly while batting for India. He has scored 70 centuries in twenty years and has broken many records and made many new records. Due to his consistently good performance with the bat for India, he got captaincy of India after the retirement of MS Dhoni, who is the most successful captain for India who is the only captain who won all the ICC trophies all over the world. Taking captaincy after the most successful captain MS Dhoni it’s tough to manage a team like that, but
Virat Kohli shows his temperament and aggression in captaincies like he does in his batting and transforms the team behavior and competitive nature, making the belligerent fighting spirit in the team. After Virat Kohli takes captaincy of the Indian team fitness standard of the team is so high, which benefits India so much. His percentage of winning matches is higher than any Indian captain. But after all these things, Virat Kohli doesn’t win any big tournament (i.e., ICC events) for India. So after reading the title of this article, you understand that we are here to see why Virat Kohli did not win any big tournament as captain.
1. Picking the wrong team
One of the biggest reasons is to select wrong playing 11 in ICC events, especially in knockout games. For example, in World Cup 2019 Semi-Final between India and New Zealand - India picks inexperienced Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya in the middle order, and Virat Kohli also picks Dinesh Kartik, who was out of form and send experienced MS Dhoni at number 7 in batting order due to which India loses that game. Another example, ICC Test Championship 2021 Final in England between India and New Zealand - under seaming conditions, India picks only three fast bowlers and two spinners while New Zealand picks five fast bowlers, due to which India loses this game also.
2. So many changes in team
In the captaincy of Virat Kohli, we see that India doesn’t play the same playing 11 in more than two games in a row, due to which players become doubtful about their position in the team and do not perform well, which affects a team lot.
3. Bad luck
Everyone knows the incredible IPL season of Virat Kohli, the batsman in which he scores 973 runs (almost 1000 runs) in one season and makes to reach his team to the final, but they end up as losing side. AWe see that bad luck of Virat Kohli in almost every IPL where their team RCB looks nice, but they did not reach to knock out or final. Another example is ICC Champions Trophy 2017 Final between India and Pakistan - India plays the whole tournament like a champion. It wins against Pakistan in league matches, but they do not repeat the history of winning against Pakistan in ICC events in the final.
4. Unnecessary excitement and aggression
These two things are the power of Virat Kohli as a batsman as well as captain. Still, it becomes disastrous for the team when making important and hard decisions for a team like in team selection, when taking DRS(Decision Review System), and when executing plans on the ground.
