Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has praised Virat Kohli's leadership in the Indian cricket team. Though Kohli as captain did not win an ICC trophy, he had brought a very robust fighting spirit to the side. Kohli's captaincy helped change the attitude of the team, making players confident of taking challenges. Harbhajan said, “Jo usne aag lagayi na team mei, like it may be a target of 400 in the fourth innings of a Test, we'll go for the chase, we won't' panic. If we go down, we do it while chasing,” He resigned as India's T20I captain in 2021 and then ODI and Test teams too. He is an aggressive player who fights for every ball with great determination.
