Melbourne: Spin legend Shane Warne has heaped praises on Virat Kohli, saying he has instilled self-belief in his team and hoped that the Indian skipper continues to play for a long time as it augurs well for Test cricket.
India recorded a fine 157-run win over England in the fourth Test at the Oval to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
“They look up to him. He’s got the respect of all the players. They back him and they play for him. It’s important for a captain that a team plays for you. I think the way Virat conducts himself, we’ve all got to say, ”Thank You Virat”,” Warne said on Sky Sports.
“The way he’s led them, he’s made them believe; belief is such an important part of sports. If you don’t believe, you won’t succeed no matter how good a side you have.
“Kohli gives his team the belief and it”s great to watch. Long live Test cricket while we’ve Virat Kohli. Please keep playing for a long long time,” he added.
Kohli is India’s most successful captain in overseas Test, having guided the country to 37 victories in 63 matches on foreign soil.
