Ex-captain not happy with Kohlis not brave enough remark!
X
In its second match in the current T 20 World Cup, India suffered its second defeat. Indian batsmen failed to put a good score on the board and New Zealand in response chased the small target. At the post-match press conference, Virat Kohli said India was not brave enough with bat and ball against New Zealand.

India's first World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev was not happy with Virat Kohli's statement and said such statements coming from a player of Kohli's stature. Lifting the mood of the players is a difficult task now, Kapil Dev said. Having said that, he spoke highly about Virat and called him a player who has the hunger to win the games.

Captain's thought process and the team's body language are key in winning the matches. If they are not up to the mark, lifting the players' mood is a difficult thing. Head Coach Ravi Shastri and mentor MS Dhoni should motivate the players and stand by the players in the tough times, Kapil Dev opined.

Surprisingly, the legendary player said that there is nothing wrong with fans criticizing the team and urged the players to face the criticism. After facing two consecutive losses, the players are facing heat from the fans as the fans are brutally trolling the players for their poor show.

Talking about the chances of making it to the semis, India has fewer chances and the conditions are very tough. To enter the semifinals, India has to win the next three matches with a good run rate and depend on Scotland and Namibia for better chances.
