Former Pakistani captain Rashid Latif speaks about the leadership of India’s captain.

Key sentence: 

1. Virat has evolved into a king, and in cricket as well as sports, you have to become a leader when you are made captain.
2. You looked at Virat, and he is a total leader as well as his own stature as a batsman has helped a great deal as well.
3. Instead of just being a team captain, I feel Babar must become a leader like Virat,” Rashid said.
4. I think Babar is on the right road as well and I thought he had his input chosen for the New Zealand tour in the squad.

In Indian cricket, maybe there was a lot of discussion about split captaincy, but former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif thinks the mindset and leadership skills of current India skipper Virat Kohli have made India grow into a better team.

Latif on a Pakistani Youtube channel: 

Terming Kohli a ‘complete king,’ Latif said that in all’ the India skipper has his say. As a batsman, his stature and accomplishments also allow him to call the shots when it comes to selecting for a specific series, Latif believed.

Virat has evolved into a king, and in cricket as well as sports, you have to become a leader when you are made captain,” Latif said on a Pakistani YouTube channel.”.and by that, I mean, on and off the field, you have to be valued. You have to take a stand for your team, and you have to make choices that are hard and out of the box,’ he stated.

Today, you looked at Virat, and he is a total leader as well as his own stature as a batsman has helped a great deal as well. But you can see that Virat has his say in all in the attitude of the Indian team as well as their selection,” he said.

As Rashid stated:

Babar Azam, recently named as an all-format skipper, wanted Latif to learn from Kohli as well as become a leader for Pakistan like him. “Instead of just being a team captain, I feel Babar must become a leader like Virat,” Rashid said.

Further Latif stated: 

I think Babar is on the right road as well and I thought he had his input chosen for the New Zealand tour in the squad. I think Babar does have the makings of a strong leader because of his extraordinary batting talents.

He seems rather meek as well as introverted, but he’s very powerful mentally and has game knowledge, and in his batting, you can see this,” Latif added.”
