Former England captain Nasser Hussain has recently said that England coach Duncan Fletcher had told him about current captain Virat Kohli's potential when he was in the coaching setup for India from April 2011 to the end of the 2015 World Cup.

"I was speaking to Duncan Fletcher about him and he said 'watch out for this lad. He has a real fight and character in him'," Hussain said in Star Sports show 'Cricket Connected'.

By the end of Fletcher's term in 2015, Virat Kohli had already become the permanent captain of the Indian Test team. In 2017, he took over from another veteran MS Dhoni in all formats of the game and has been leading India since then. India have enjoyed a great success under Kohli which also included at the top of the Test rankings. "He is not worried about stats. The only stats he is worried about is the win/loss column," said Hussain.

Virat Kohli is considered as one of the best batsmen in the world in recent times due to his ability to change the game single-handedly regardless of the format. He averages above 50 in all forms of international cricket. In Tests, he has scored 7,240 runs at an average of 53.62 and in ODIs, he has amassed 11,867 runs at an average of nearly 60 as well.

However, if the situation was right, Virat Kohli would have been playing in the 13th edition of IPL which now has been suspended till April 15 due to outbreak of novel coronavirus in the country and the chances of the tournament being played in the near future are highly bleak as well. So far he has done really well for India but he failed to win a title in the Indian Premier League for his side Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was expected that with a fresh new team, he would have tried to win the title this year.
