Virat Kohli feels Test cricket will stay relevant if India ‘respects’ it, given the massive fan base the team team has across the globe.
The Kohli-led Indian team recently secured their first-ever Test series win on Australian soil, defeating the hosts 2-1.
Despite that, there are areas that can still improve – they suffered series defeats in South Africa and England in 2018, although they competed well in most matches.
“That was the most important thing and he’s been the most amazing support for the team and someone who’s backed the team through and through.
“I think he’s struck the perfect balance for this team. And he’s the one person who was there when we were No. 7 (in the rankings) in 2014. He was there and you know the transition started under him.
“And we started feeding off that mindset and started bringing that in, which I could eventually go out there and boost more [on the field]. But I think it was his vision for us to be fearless and play a certain kind of cricket, which I think he deserves a lot of credit for.”
