Former England captain explains why Virat Kohli is more successful than MS Dhoni in Test cricket

Former England captain Michael Vaughan expressed deep disappointment after announcing his retirement from Test cricket on Monday. Kohli ended his outstanding career in the longest race format, with an impressive 9,230 runs, an average of 46.85, including 30 centuries.

“I won’t watch another cricketer game. But, I’m really disappointed.

“What shocked him is that he is now retirement, and I feel very sad about it. In the time I was in the race, which stretched for more than 30 years, I don’t believe anyone has done more to test formats than Virat.” Under the captain of Virat Kohli, India has won 40 times in 68 Tests, and now, without his format will be “far from being clumsy.”

“I was worried that India had lost interest in Test cricket ten years ago when he was riding in the captain.”

Why does Virat Kohli beat MS Dhoni as the test captain?

“MS Dhoni is one of the greatest white ball players, but it feels like he’s the captain of a test team that doesn’t like this format. The game requires India to fall in love with test cricket in a crazy way, which is why Virat is fostered as a captain.

“His passion, skill, and the way he talks about cricket has been a huge shot of the format. Without him, Test cricket would be a huge place and if he wasn’t as interested and devoted as he was, it would lose its appeal.” Vaughan described Kohli as the greatest player of all formats and called his retirement a blow to Test cricket.

“His retirement is now a blow to Test cricket, which is very disappointing for the fans – especially in England, but my belief is that he helped develop a love for the format in his generation and keeps the flames burning,” the former batsman wrote.

“It’s impossible to compare in every era, but if you’ve been there since T20 20 years ago, when you think about all three formats, he’s almost certainly the greatest player.”

MS Dhoni, who served as captain of the Indian Test team from 2008 to 2014, led the team in 60 games, in which he scored 27 wins and suffered 18 losses, resulting in a 45% win rate of 45%. Vaughan stressed that despite Dhoni being a successful leader, the Indian test team made a significant shift under Virat Kohli, regaining the competitive spirit. Vaughan noted that Kohley’s contribution to the team was unparalleled and had a profound impact on the test format.
