Virat Kohli has some work to do as a captain, says Michael Holding 

WEST INDIES GREAT Michael Holding lauded Virat Kohli and termed the Indian skipper as a fantastic batsman. 

Holding described Kohli as one of the top three batsmen in the world at the moment along with England's Joe Root and Australia's Steve Smith. However, the legendary paceman believes that the prolific batsman is yet to prove himself in England. As reported by Mumbai Mirror, he said,

"Virat Kohli is a fantastic batsman. I was asked to name three top cricketers and I included Kohli in that list. He is a very very good player. When I see him score runs in England, I would call him a great player. I like people who score runs everywhere. He is an extremely good player."

Holding also opined that Kohli needs to further work on his captaincy and keep his calm while discussing cricket. 

"But as a captain, he has some work to do. I don't want to condemn him too much because I like to have my own way as a captain. I like to be given the team I want all the time. But it is still not the right way to go. There got to be discussions with the wiser heads from time to time, come to conclusions and flesh out different arguments. I get an impression that he is getting what he wants.”
