Asia Cup 2014 will be Virat Kohli’s (right) biggest and the defining challenge as a captain






Many might not know this but the ongoing Asia Cup 2014 is not the first time that Virat Kohli’s skills as a captain are being tested. Kohli led the Indian Under-19 team in a series in Malaysia in 2008 and it was there that he earned his merit as a leader for the first time.



Similarly, he led the Indian team in a series against Zimbabwe in 2013 and was also captain for a few matches against West Indies in the same year. On both occasions, he further reiterated his value as a skipper.



India is one country which makes the best use of its young U-19 talent and Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are prime examples of this. However, with Dhoni’s consistency as a captain and his relentless performance, Kohli has not been able to showcase his talent and ability.
