As a leader, Kohli has not been able to bring any new player to the forefront of international cricket, this can be attributed to the fact that he doesn't believe in giving a long rope to new players. Not giving a long rope to new players is something which doesn't appear to be conscious on Kohli's part, it may be boiled down to the fact he always wants to win and as a result, doesn't want to take a chance.

This approach can backfire at times as the discovery of new talent is imperative for the sustained success of any cricket team or for that matter in any other sport.
