Aaron Finch Shares Unique Observation About Virat Kohli's Leadership

Former Australia skipper and the winner of the 2021 T20 World Cup, Aaron Finch, shared a very interesting opinion, rather observation, on Virat Kohli's Test captaincy. Virat Kohli and Test cricket have become synonymous over many years. Kohli has often been credited for reviving Test cricket, which was once considered a dying format. Finch, while speaking to the official broadcasters of IPL 2025, Jio Star, explained how Virat Kohli always put the interest of his team ahead of his own interest.

"What really stands out to me about Virat's leadership is that you can look at his numbers now and say they're not as good as they were five years ago. But he was playing on some wickets in India that were spinning hugely from day one. It was about putting your own ego aside to say, 'What's the best thing for my team right now to win a Test match against this opposition?'" Finch said.
