Ravi Shastri on Virat Kohli:
“He’s right up there with the best anywhere around the world & will go down in history as the finest India ever had. Always strong-minded, the Virat I know was firm in how he wanted to pursue his cricket/captaincy. Absolutely dedicated to the job"

"He now has all the time & space to concentrate on what he wants to do next – which is concentrating on becoming the best batsman in the world once again."
+
+
"Kohli’s biggest strength as captain is the drive, passion, and commitment he brought to the game. That drive to win at all times is what makes him special. He can walk away with his head held high”.
+
+
"The so-called blip of not winning an ICC World Cup, in Shastri’s view, cannot overshadow any of Kohli’s bigger achievements."
+
+
“Only two captains have won an ICC World Cup for India – Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni. A lot of big players couldn’t get their hands on it, which is fine".
+
+
"The only two instances that Kohli might have felt frustrated at not winning are the World Test Championship final and this series in South Africa".
+
+
“It is time for him to focus on his batting. He’s achieved what he wanted to as Test captain. Barring a World Cup, and this series in South Africa, he’s won it all. In terms of winning percentage, he’s the best India’s ever had across formats and that says a lot".
