India’s first World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev was not happy with Virat Kohli’s statement saying that the players were not brave enough. Kapil said that such statements were surprising from a player of Kohli’s stature.
Lifting the mood of the players is a difficult task now, Kapil Dev said. Having said that, he spoke highly about Virat and called him a player who has the hunger to win the games.
Kohli’s thought process and the team’s body language are key in winning the matches. If they are not up to the mark, lifting the players’ mood is a difficult thing.
Head Coach Ravi Shastri and mentor MS Dhoni should motivate the players and stand by the players in the tough times, Kapil Dev opined.
The legendary player Kapil said that there is nothing wrong with fans criticizing the team and urged the players to face the criticism. After facing two consecutive losses, the players are facing heat from the fans as the fans are brutally trolling the players for their poor show.
