They missed Virat Kohli's captaincy: Michael Vaughan after India’s loss
Former England captain Micahel Vaughan said that India is currently missing Virat Kohli’s captaincy in the game's longest format. Vaughan believed that India wouldn’t have lost the first Test against the English side if Kohli had been the captain.
While critically analysing Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, Vaughan said on the YouTube channel 'Club Prairie Fire', "They missed Virat Kohli's captaincy massively in Test cricket. Under Virat's captaincy that week, India wouldn't have lost the game. Rohit is a legend and a great player. But I felt he just switched off completely.”
Not only this but in one of his columns for The Telegraph, Vaughan wrote, "I thought Rohit Sharma's captaincy was very, very average. I thought he was so reactive, I don’t think he maneuvered his field or was proactive with his bowling changes. And he didn’t have any answer to Ollie Pope’s sweeps or reverse sweeps.”
