Greg Chappell, the former Australia captain and coach of the Indian team, believes the world is yet to see the best of Virat Kohli.
Kohli, the India captain, is currently in England for the ongoing five-match Test series. India conceded the series after losing the fourth Test by 60 runs in Southampton, but Kohli sits atop the run charts and has been head and shoulders above the rest of the batsmen from either side.
He has 544 runs in four matches, with two centuries and three half-centuries, and averages 68. The second-highest scorer – England vice-captain Jos Buttler – has 260 runs in as many matches.
It is indicative of the strides Kohli has taken since the last time India toured England in 2014, when he managed just 134 runs in 10 innings, and he is currently the No.1-ranked batsman in the MRF Tyres ICC Rankings for Test batsmen.
However, Chappell believes Kohli can get even better. “Kohli, as well as having great physical talent, has the mental capacity and the emotional capacity to deal with what it takes to be successful in that really harsh environment,” Chappell told CricketNext in an interview.
