With Mahendra Singh Dhoni being ruled out of the tr-series due to injury, the responsibility of captaincy has now come on the shoulders of young Virat Kohli. Kohli took some very good decisions in the last match but it was some luck factor which tilted the scale in West Indies favour. West Indies won the thrilling contest by a wicket but there are still some positives that this young side can move ahead with.
Kohli, who not just missed the services of Dhoni with the gloves but also as a captain and was quoted by The Hindu saying, "There were times when you are under pressure and you miss him (Dhoni) because he remains calm under pressure.”
According to a report in Indian express, Kohli was surprised to see that how wicket played in the second half of the match. "The way the wicket played in the second innings, the score wasn't enough. It was completely different in the morning, it was damp, it became better for batting later on," he said. But the stand-in captain did praise his bowlers for bringing this match so close.
"We tried to take as many wickets as possible, one or two edges going to the fielders would have been different, we were close to winning it. There was a bit of spongy bounce in the morning and Narine was getting some turn. It was just a matter of one wicket. It was a great fight by us and good entertainment. West Indies had a great game," the young captain was quoted by Deccan Chronicle.
