Ever since Virat Kohli stepped down as Team India's skipper in all forms of the game, the cricketing world has been waiting to hear from him. And the man has finally broken his silence.

While speaking on an episode of FireSide Chat Kohli said that moving on is also a part of leadership. To understand the right time to do that and to understand that maybe the environment needs a different direction but obviously with the same cultural value. 'I always thought like a captain when I was just a player in the team and I want to be my own leader', added Virat.

Talking about the time when MS Dhoni handed over the captaincy duties to him, Kohli said that when he became the captain, his focus was on cultural change. 'I knew we do not lack in skill, I was thinking about maximizing the talent to its potential,' the Delhi lad further said.
