Seeing Virat Kohli Take Test Cricket So Seriously Was Fantastic, Says Graeme Smith

By IANS News August 20, 2022 • 14:32 PM View: 1984

Former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith applauded the attitude India had towards Test cricket when Virat Kohli was captain, saying it was fantastic to see him take the longest format of the game extremely seriously.

Kohli, who became full-time Test captain in 2015 after MS Dhoni announced his retirement from the format, led India to 40 wins out of 68 Tests as skipper while losing 17 and drawing 11 matches. He stepped down from Test captaincy as India lost 2-1 in South Africa in January, with a win percentage of 58.82 while registering memorable wins in overseas and home conditions.
