In the past years, there have been notable changes in Indian cricket, from game strategies to spreading awareness of fitness. Ahead of their first international match in the new year (2020), the Indian skipper Virat Kohli picked the remarkable change which he has seen in the Indian team.

Virat Kohli believes that now the Indian team focuses more on team performance as a whole rather than thinking on individual accomplishment. He said that there was a whole cultural shift in the team. Presently, the small efforts by the players are also praised either it’s a catch or a runout. He further added that this type of mindset increases the team’s performance.

Virat Kohli effect on the national side

The Indian skipper had a big hand in changing the game of the Indian team. The ambitious player encourages his teammates to work hard to meet his desire to win maximum games. Indian Head Coach Ravi Shastri has recently claimed that Kohli is different from other captains as he brings energy in the field to motivate others.

Virat Kohli’s dedication to the game has inspired many young cricketers. The most significant shift which he has brought in the team is increasing the fitness bar. Under his captaincy, he introduced the Yo-Yo test to check the physical strength of the players. Also, he has turned out to be one of the successful captains of the Indian team.

Meanwhile, India is ready to play the first T20I match of the three-match home series against Sri Lanka on Sunday (5th January) at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. The two teams will play the other two matches on 7th and 10th January. Following this, the Australian team will tour to India to play three-match ODI series, starting from 14th January.
