Why Virat Kohli is 'world's best cricket captain'? Former India batter explains

After impressive wins in Gabba, the Oval and Lord's, Virat Kohli led Team India to another brilliant overseas victory against South Africa at SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium in Centurion on Thursday. As a result of the win, Kohli became the first Asian captain to lead his side to a victory at this venue, thereby helping India conquer another fortress. The Kohli-led side registered a decisive 113 run win against the Proteas in the first Test of the three-match IND vs SA series.

Following the team's emphatic victory, former Indian batter Vinod Kambli took to his social media handle to explain why he believes Kohli is one of the best captains in the world. His Koo post comes shortly after the 33-year old was unceremoniously stripped of the ODI captaincy by the BCCI.
