After facing a defeat against South Africa in the first test match, former Indian cricket Subramaniam Badrinath questioned why star batsman Virat Kohli is not leading the team in the Test and also added that Rohit Sharma is not a proven opening batsman in overseas conditions. Rohit Sharma-led Indian team lost the first test match against South Africa within just three days by an innings and 32 runs. Since 1992-93 India`s dream of winning a test series against South Africa on South African soil has not come into reality.
"Kohli has a great record as a test leader. He has scored more than 5000 runs with an average of 52+ as a captain. He has 40 wins and 17 losses in 68 tests. He led us to a tremendous victory in the Australia series. He has the most wins as Test captain after Graeme Smith, Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh," Subramaniam Badrinath said on his YouTube channel.
