Kohli targets lucky 18 as 13-year-old set to make IPL history

20 Mar 25

Former South African captain Graeme Smith believes India led the way in the development of Test cricket under Virat Kohli.

The 41-year-old feels under Kohli India "really took Test cricket seriously." Kohli has been a flagbearer of the longest format of the game.

"I think it's fantastic especially under Virat Kohli that India really took Test cricket seriously. They lead the way with that.

"But as long as we've got competitive teams, you're not going to have 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 competitive teams. You might only be down to five or six nations that play Test cricket at this level," Smith added.

Kohli led India to the final of the maiden World Test Championships against New Zealand, alongside several memorable Test wins.
