Ashwin spoke openly about Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane’s leadership

In Australia, the Border-Gavaskar series was won by Team India 2–1 in 2020–21. Team India captain Virat Kohli returned home on paternity leave after the Adelaide Test. Ajinkya Rahane captained the team for the remaining three Tests. Following the Australia series, there has been an ongoing debate over whether Rahane should be given the Test leadership to replace Virat Kohli. Amid this debate, R Ashwin has spoken openly about the leadership of the two. India lost the Adelaide Test under the leadership of Virat and after that India lost no Test under Rahane’s leadership. India won the Melbourne Test and then the Sydney Test draw and won the historic 2–1 series in Brisbane.

Asked about the difference between Virat and Rahane’s leadership, Ashwin said, “Rahane has captained Team India and Virat Kohli in five Tests. That is a big difference. I don’t understand how people compare to captaincy. Talk about this because they make headlines. ‘

Whatever the Lord’s memorable century for Melbourne or Rahane, the answer is known

Ashwin said, ‘All the heroes and deputies I have played under have been very supportive. Leadership refers to how you lead and how to deal with any situation. If you can support a teammate, it is also a quality of leadership. I consider myself fortunate to have shared and done rooms with such players. Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara are not short names. I understand more and more how they affected me every time I retired. ‘
