Certain people are special and Virat Kohli is one of them, says Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev has stated that India skipper Virat Kohli's talent and discipline not only makes him a special player but a special person as well. The former India captain has also mentioned that if the Indian women’s team play together as a unit then they can clinch the ICC Women’s World T20 trophy.
The 1983 World Cup-winning skipper of India has praised the current skipper in his recent interview to a television channel. Kapil said that he is of the opinion that if one has talent and is also eager to work hard then the person can achieve all success in life. He also talked about Ravi Shastri being the right person to coach the Indian national team in the interview.
"I think he (Virat Kohli) is a special person, a special player. I think certain people are special and he is one of them. The people who have talent and are ready to work hard they become superhuman. So I think he is talented and disciplined and that makes him what he is," Kapil told NDTV.

With the Indian women’s team playing exceptionally well in the ongoing ICC Women’s World T20 in the West Indies, the former all-rounder expects them to win the title. The team under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur remained unbeaten in the group stage and has qualified for the semifinals. The Indian women’s team had earlier missed out on clinching the World Cup last year after losing the final game.
"I think they should go with that frame of mind that yes we want to win the cup. If they don't win, that doesn't matter because how you play is very important. If they play as a unit and make
Kapil also asserted that if MS Dhoni can remain fit and play good cricket, he is always an asset to the Indian team. He also mentioned that one can’t expect a show like 20-year-old Dhoni from him when he is already 37.
"I think whatever he has done, he's done a great job. But I think the bad part is we are expecting the same 20 or 25 years old Dhoni, which is not going to work," explained Kapil.
"He has experience, if he can help the team with his experience, it's well done. But one thing everyone should understand that he is not 20, and he is not going to be 20 again. So whatever he brings to the table, if he can make himself available and he can play good cricket, he is an asset to the team. Only his fitness is important and I wish he keeps on playing more matches.”
