Dinesh Karthik reveals the emotional vision of Kohli virating on the Captaincy of Test
Kohli, who moved away from the test cricket in May 2025, described leading the country as the final moment of his career. This feeling found an amazing echo to the current Captain of India Shubman gill. Speaking to Sky Sports, Karthik revealed that Gill echoed Kohli’s philosophy, saying he now thinks more about what the team needs than on personal milestones. The young man, 25, has already shown signs of this transformation with a fear of fear, putting the team’s goals ahead of individual flair.
“Athers, you talked about Virat Kohli. I met him a few days ago, and this talk about captaincy came. He said people thought,” I’m a great test cricketter. I enjoyed my beating test, but the fact is that getting my Captaincy to be the best thing that happened in my life. “ Said Karthik in response to Michael Atherton.

Gill, who took over as a test captain after Rohit SharmaRetirement has embodied this selfless mentality. Not only has India brought an historic victory of 336 runs to Edgbaston to level the series, but it has also prolificly marked under pressure. With 585 runs in two tests at an average of 146.25, including two centuries and a double ton, Gill’s presence in the fold reflects both responsibility and brightness. His performance has left the pricks and the old cricketers who praised his early leadership, removing parallels with Kohli’s legacy not only in attitude, but in a pure impact. Karthik believed that this mental change in Gill makes him see, someone intended to drive India to a new era of evidence.
“Why do I say that the same vein was used by Shubman Gill. He said, I used to beat differently. But now, after having captaincy, almost, when I go, I think that this is what my team requires, instead of me that I wanted to do something individually as a batter – that I thought, wow,” The old Indian cricketter added.
From King Kohli to the crowned prince Shubman Gill
Gill’s captaincy arc seems to be developed as a perfect baton step of a legend to a future potential icon. The comparisons between Kohli and Gill have only become stronger after Gill’s twin centuries in Edgbaston, 269 and 161, made him the first player to mark 200 and 150 in the same test. Karthik, who has seen the two players closely, said that Gill’s maturity, reflected in his desire to adapt his battle style for the team, reflects what Kohli did as captain. According to Karthik, this level of understanding at such a young age speaks volumes of Gill’s leadership potential and puts it firmly online to emulate, or even overcome Kohli’s legacy.
“ Now, this is something that the cricket world has to take into account, because there is a dwarf that has the appetite, that has the skill, that it has the technique. But now it has the mentality that he says, I am a captain. I will lead the front, to carry my front foot. And we saw that in the last test of the test. I am sure that there will be much more tests that match us to observe – Karthik concluded.
