South Africa’s most successful Test captain Graeme Smith is not sure whether Virat Kohli can be a long-term leader for India and feels the star batsman’s leadership skills are not challenged enough by the team management.
“I don’t know, when I look at him, if he is a long-term captaincy option for India,” Smith told television network SuperSport .
Smith feels Kohli needs a person around him who can challenge his decisions in a constructive way.
“When I look at Virat, I think he needs someone in the support staff who can constructively challenge him and help him grow,” said Smith.
“As a leader you’ve got to consider how you impact the others in the environment, that’s an area of his leadership that he needs to grow.
