AB de Villiers lauds Indian Captain Virat Kohli, Hails His Leadership Skills As India Crush England 3-1

AB de Villiers has lavished praise on Virat Kohli’s leadership after the India skipper guided his team to a thumping win over England in the fourth Test on Saturday.

He pointed out that is was Kohli’s leadership that allowed Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar to play with freedom and dominate the game.

The Kohli-led side thrashed England by an innings and 25 runs in the game to win the four-match Test series 3-1. With the win, India also secured its place in the final of the ICC World Test Championship.

The skipper registered an impressive feat on Saturday as Team India conquered England in the 4-match Test series. The Indian team defeated England by 25 runs and an innings to clinch a 3-1 series victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Team India leapt to the top of the ICC Test Rankings to reclaim the throne. With England’s defeat, Kohli & Co also booked their tickets to the Lord’s to face New Zealand in the World Test Championship finale in June this year.

“Kohli’s leadership this test match allowed young guns like Axar, Rishabh and Washie to play with freedom and dominate the game. It takes a special leader to elevate other players around them through body language and passion when their personal performance has been down,” wrote de Villiers.

Kohli will be desperate to get back to his usual best when India and England lock horns against each other in the upcoming limited-overs series.
