#3 Attacking strategies by Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli’s shrewd tactics have also been instrumental in his success as a captain. India has traditionally been a team known for playing with 4 bowlers but he came in and changed this strategy by playing with five bowlers. The strategy allowed the team to pick up 20 wickets and thereby win the games.
He has backed Rohit Sharma as a Test match player due to his match winning abilities and though this tactic is yet to yield positive results but it is a testimony to the attacking mentality of the new Indian Test captain.
His fielding positions have been more proactive rather than reactive which have resulted in picking up wickets at crucial junctures and unlike many other modern day captains, he hasn’t allowed the games to drift away when nothing happens. The overall attacking mentality by Virat Kohli has generated immense confidence in the Indian team which is visible in their performances.
