- Never Say Die Attitude of Team India:
A team is ranked number one not just because of its ability to win games, but because of that team’s skills to come back out of any derelict situation. This what the Virat Kohli led outfit did so often in the season. India were in a spot of bother in several games, but someone or the other stood up to rescue India and turn it into a match-winning effort. For instance, in the Mohali Test against England, the lower order in the form of R. Ashwin, Jadeja and Jayant Yadav not just wiped off the trail, but even gave India a lead in excess of 100, which was a match winning.
The Bangalore Test against Australia was another instance, as after conceding a lead of 87, the hosts got together their best game and ended up winning the game when no one gave them a chance. The season finale at Dharamshala was another example of why India is the number one Test side. Among all those magical performances, one individual needs to be lauded, and that is none other than skipper Virat Kohli, for his inspiring approach to leadership.
