Kohli's legacy as captain will stand as benchmark: Ashwin

India TV News  

In a heartfelt tribute to Virat Kohli, his teammate and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin wrote that the former India captain, who stepped down as Test skipper on Saturday, said Kohli is leaving behind a legacy as a leader which will serve as a headache for his successor. "Your legacy as a captain will stand for the kind of benchmarks you have set," veteran spinner Ravichandran summarised Virat Kohli's spectacular Test captaincy stint as other members of the Indian cricket team also hailed the integrity and the vision the talismanic leader. The 33-year-old spinner leaves as the most successful India captain in Test cricket with 40 wins from 68 matches with the highlight being the wins in Australia and England last year. "So cheers to your most successful Test Captaincy for India and thanks for the amazing memories as a Captain you have given us," Ishant wrote.
