India National Cricket Team batsman Virat Kohli has been very active on the field in the ongoing fourth Test against Australia National Cricket Team. The Melbourne Cricket Ground witnesses a great competition between bat and ball.
Virat Kohli was the live wire for the India national cricket team in the ongoing match as the Rohit Sharma-led side made a massive comeback. The energy brought by Kohli was the main reason behind this as Jasprit Bumrah once again swept his class.
Virat Kohli has lifted his bowlers at the MCG, and the energy is inspiring the bowlers
Kohli was lifting his players in the team as the players of the Indian national cricket team were disturbing the opposition batsmen. The bowling changes, coupled with the fielding placements by skipper Rohit Sharma, were also impressive.
But Rohit Sharma also took inputs from former skipper Kohli. The latter was constantly talking to the commander and was discussing strategy and field positions with his hand gestures and this caught the attention of many.
Not only this, Kohli also witnessed the pitch being placed when Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deb were bowling. The former India national cricket team captain also ran towards both the bowlers during the overs to discuss the various plans of the Australian batsmen.

With Kohli taking charge of the game, this has also made commentators speculate about who will lead the India national cricket team. Mark Nicholas was amazed by Kohli’s energetic nature, saying, “Virat Kohli is very energetic on the field as if he is leading the team.”
Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the India national cricket team has been one of the most dominant touring teams
Notably, under Kohli’s captaincy India National Cricket Team has been one of the most dominant touring teams. The way he took part in the match today showed glimpses of how he worked when he was captain in the Tests. He used to be at his aggressive best and the way he used to present himself to the opposition was one of the highlights of his leadership.
Kohli was the last captain of the India national cricket team for the 2021/22 tour of South Africa, after which he resigned as captain of the team following his issue with the then BCCI president Sourav Ganguly.
Kohli remains India’s most successful Test captain, having led the team to 40 wins in 68 Tests, with a winning percentage of 58.82. He finished his captaincy as the fourth most successful Test captain of all time in terms of wins, with South Africa’s Graeme Smith, Australia’s Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh above him.
