Virat Kohli: The Indian team has just gone on a tour of Australia to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Where a series of 5 Test matches is being played. In the 2 Test matches played so far, both the teams have won 1-1. While the performance of a star player of Team India on this tour has not been anything special.
But today we will tell you an interesting thing that the player we are talking about used to do well under the captaincy of former captain Virat Kohli. However, ever since Rohit Sharma became the captain of Team India. Since then the performance of that player has been getting very bad. So let's know who is this player and how has his performance been under the captaincy of Kohli and Rohit.
Virat Kohli's captaincy has had a great performance
Let us tell you that the player we are talking about is none other than wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul. While he also performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Because, Rahul has played 39 Test matches under Kohli's captaincy. In which he has scored 2320 runs at an average of 35.
During this, he has scored 7 centuries. While Rahul has scored 1253 runs in 34 ODIs under Kohli's captaincy at an average of 43 and has scored 4 centuries during this period. At the same time, Rahul has 1197 runs in 36 T20 matches in T20 International under Kohli's captaincy at an average of 38 and a strike rate of 144.
He has been a flop under Rohit Sharma's captaincy!
While KL Rahul's performance under Rohit Sharma's captaincy has not been anything special and he is continuously flopping. Under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, KL Rahul has scored 827 runs in 30 T20 matches at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 128. Whereas under Rohit's captaincy, Rahul has scored 965 runs in 26 ODIs so far.
At the same time, under Rohit's captaincy, KL Rahul has played 10 Test matches so far. In which he has scored only 421 runs at an average of 30. Under Rohit's captaincy, Rahul has scored 1 century in the Test format so far. Due to which it would not be wrong to say that Rahul used to play like a lion under Kohli's captaincy and now he is continuously flopping under Rohit's captaincy.
