Former Indian opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth said that given the spirit and confidence of not giving up, the current captain Virat Kohli can be compared to the great cricketer Kapil Dev. Srikanth was part of the team that won the 1983 World Cup led by Kapil, while Kohli was a member of the team that won the title in the 2011 stage.
Srikanth said on Star Sports's' Cricket Connected 'show,' I have played with Kapil Dev and I have also been the chairman of the selection committee that selected Virat Kohli and I can tell you that the attitude of both is very similar. '
He said, "Both are very confident and they know that they only take the field with the intention of winning. Unwilling passion and aggression make them great when chasing goals and the positive attitude of both makes them like each other. '
On this show, former batsman VVS Laxman said that Kohli never lets his passion down. Laxman said, 'I am the admirer of Virat Kohti's passion. I was worried that his spirit will not be reduced soon. But skip one session, he does not let his energy be reduced even for one over, this is really praiseworthy. '
