"I see Virat as being a very passionate and competitive cricketer with a strong desire for himself and the team to succeed. Virat is responsible for ensuring that Indian cricket remains competitive and be one of the best teams in the world," Hadlee said in an official ICC media release. Kohli is already the most successful India Test skipper and he would now be looking to win his first ICC title as an Indian captain. Under Kohli, India had managed to reach the finals of the 2017 Champions Trophy and semi-final of the 2019 Cricket World Cup. There will always be a fine line as to whether gamesmanship from a player or a team goes too far.
