Kohli's Influence Remains Strong

The saying goes, 'Once a leader, always a leader,' and Virat Kohli exemplifies this repeatedly. Although the captaincy has transitioned through various players, including Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, and Jitesh Sharma, Kohli continues to serve as a pivotal mentor for his teammates. His popularity isn't solely due to his enthusiastic celebrations, which often surpass those of the bowlers, but also because he engages in strategic discussions with them before crucial moments. A recent example of this occurred with young bowler Suyash Sharma, who took a key wicket of Heinrich Klaasen.

During the match, after Klaasen struck a boundary, Kohli approached Suyash for a quick chat. On the very next delivery, Suyash delivered a deceptive googly that caught Klaasen off guard. The ball pitched on leg stump and spun into Klaasen's hitting zone, luring him into an ambitious slog over long-on. However, he misjudged the timing.

The ball made contact with the lower part of his bat, soaring high into the air. Romario Shepherd, positioned near long-on, maintained his composure and successfully took the catch.
