Recently South African former test captain Graeme Smith has raised doubts over Virat Kohli's ability to get the best out of his players, and wondered aloud if Kohli is a long-term captaincy option for India. Kohli is an interesting character, he is intimidating, supremely skilled and fiercely aggressive. While he has doubters, till now he has been able to bring the best out of his players. For various reasons, Indians never been able to play fire with fire in overseas conditions. Virat Kohli believes in playing fire with fire, even if it may burn some of his own players. in Johannesburg, when umpires were inspecting the pitch if it was unsuitable for play, Kohli sitting in the balcony indicated Bhuvneswar and Shami to stay, because he himself valiantly had played in that treacherous pitch and scored runs. Kohli's leadership style may raise some eyebrows amongst pundits but it may serve well Indian cricket.However, ifs and buts aside, it will be the results that would most please the cricket lovers and silence the critics. Whichever way it goes, in next one year Indian cricket promises to be exciting and its actions would be keenly watched both on and off the field.
