Adam Gilchrist, the former Austrian Wicketkeeper opined, it's unfair to compare the captaincy of Virat and Ricky Ponting, who were two Players of a different era.
“I don’t think it is right to compare Virat Kohli’s captaincy with Ricky Ponting’s captaincy. We shouldn’t compare players of different eras. But Virat has got his own style, he is aggressive. His team seems to be inspired by that and look he is getting results,” he said.
While the Wicketkeeper-Batsman is in all praise for the aggressive Captain, who drives the team with passion on and off the field. But said, the real challenge for the Indian captain will come when the team tours overseas, where conditions will be different from sub-continent.
“But again his captaincy will get under closer scrutiny when he is playing under conditions that aren’t suited to his team and he needs to make big and tactical decisions on how to get through difficult times. I am sure he’ll have great confidence in getting through that. So, that’s how he will be judged. I have been very impressed with the passion with which he leads his team,” he said.
“India is a very strong side, particularly in their home conditions. They have got quality spin bowling, they have got pace bowling options. Their batting has really performed well here. But I think the teams are judged on how they perform overseas. So, I think they already have an eye towards the South Africa tour,”
