'Virat is a very thorough captain' - Ashwin
Speaking to Hindustan Times, India offspinner R Ashwin lauded Virat Kohli's captaincy. "Virat is a very thorough captain. He does his homework before the game," Ashwin said. "We do a lot of team meetings before the game, there's a lot of honesty around. That gives me the confidence and interest while going out on the field. He gives me enough freedom to express myself and take control of what fields I want to set and how I want to bowl."
