Kapil says Kohli’s not brave enough statement is weak

The legendary Kapil Dev feels Virat Kohli’s admission of his team not being brave enough in the T20 World Cup loss to New Zealand is a very weak statement and head coach Ravi Shastri along with mentor Mahendra Singh Dhoni should step up to lift the players’ morale.

India lost by eight wickets to the Black Caps in Dubai on Sunday night, severely jeopardising their chances of making the semifinals. The 62-year-old former captain said the big names will have to take responsibility for what is transpiring in the UAE.

Obviously, it’s a very weak statement from a player as big as Virat Kohli. We all know and we believe that he has the hunger and desire to win games for the team, he told ‘ABP News’.

But, if the body language of the team and thought process of the captain is like this, it’s very difficult to lift the mood of the players inside the dressing room, he added referring to Kohli’s statement that his teammates were not brave enough with the bat, ball or in their body language.
