Nasser Hussain criticizes Virat's on-field decisions

 

New Delhi: India defeated England in the Second Test match at Vishakhapatnam by 246 runs to lead 1-0 in the five-match series. Indian skipper Virat kohli maintained an impressive record as captain of Indian Test team but few cricketing greats like former England captain Nasser Hussain didn’t looked much impressed with the decisions the Indian captain took on the field. Writing on a Daily Mail column, Hussain criticized Virat for being naïve on the field when India were in comfortable position on the fourth day. “India may well win this second Test, but some of his decisions on the fourth afternoon, when England’s openers were fighting hard, were strange. Don’t get me wrong. Kohli is still young in captaincy terms, and he will get better. He leads by example and wears his heart on his sleeve. I really enjoy the passion he shows out in the middle.” He further added, “But I’ve found him tactically quite naive. It was odd that when England began their second innings, Kohli began with a slip, a gully and two men on the hook for Haseeb Hameed, who almost never plays the hook shot” However, the former England skipper praised the intensity showed by the 28-year-old Indian captain.
