Ravichandran Ashwin opens up about Virat Kohli’s fierce winning mentality

Ashwin feels Kohli is now on-par with the some of the greatest captains in the game.

By Salman Anjum - 06 Feb, 2018
 India’s seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has hailed Virat Kohli as a leader who wants to win at all cost. Addressing the media after Tamil Nadu’s opening match against Gujarat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Monday (February 5), Ashwin opened up about different facets of Kohli’s game.

Even though Virat’s leadership is yet to be tested in countries like England, New Zealand and Australia, Ashwin still feels that the current India skipper has done enough to be rated amongst the greatest captains of all time.

Talking about his personal performance in the recently concluded Test series against South Africa, Ashwin said he had achieved what he wanted to, but he would have liked to have got a few more wickets. The 57 Tests veteran picked up 7 wickets at an average of 30.71 in 2 Tests against the Proteas.

The world No. 1 Test side conceded the three-match Test series 2-1 to the Proteas. However, Ashwin feels that the series was closely fought.
