He further added that the 33-year-old batter was India's most aggressive and successful captain, and few have achieved what Kohli did as captain.
Notably, the Kohli-Shastri duo transformed the red-ball side and made them the best traveling side in Test cricket. During the Kohli-Shastri era, India never lost a Test series at home and won two-Test series in Australia.
