Unless Kohli matures very quickly, he's not going to last very long as a Test captain. He may be the most talented Indian batsman of his generation and on his way to becoming one of the biggest wickets in world cricket, but there's more to captaincy than that.
Dohni will no doubt sit back and count his millions after the World Cup, occasionally being wheeled out for another fat pay cheque in the IPL. Waste of one of the best ODI batsmen of modern cricket.

Why do you hate Dhoni so much. Why can't you just say something nice about him when he is retiring from test matches.
You are really sad if you are getting jealous of how much money he earns.

I reckon he will be a Ganguly type captain or a Arjuna Ranatunga.
Just because he is captain doesn't mean he has to stop sledging or not get under opposition players skins.
I think Kohli would be a great captain because of his aggressive mentality and attitude.

There's a difference between sledging and seriously crossing the line, there's a difference between being aggressive and swearing at the crowd. Kohli is too hot headed to deal with a struggling side. You never know, he might turn out to be a Border type captain who was a complete git towards everyone but led from the front and took no excuses.

Bit harsh mentioning the Swearing at the crowd considering it only happened once and that in Australia where they give you the biggest stick, Botham, Broad and KP have all said fielding in Australia is the toughest which is why england always had Trott near the boundary ropes.
Generally struggling sides usually need Aggressive captain to perform better and I reckon india need a Aggressive captain after 6-7 years of defensive Dhoni captaincy.

Under Smith, South Africa were a deeply unlikable side, repeatedly engaging in gamesmanship to get one over on their opposition instead of relying on their on field performance. With Smith gone, Amla has gotten rid of that, prefering to use his bat and the team's performance to do the talking.
If Kohli is to transform himself and make the most of his obvious talents as a captain then he needs to wake up and realise that he needs to model what is expected of his players.

The great aussie side was pretty unpleasant but it didn't stop them making the most of their talents. Dhoni has been too defensive and laid back in tests, so i think they could really do with some firing up. Also, Kohli is already nowhere near as bad as he was 2 or 3 years ago so I'm sure he will continue to grow and mature with experience. Michael Clarke was hardly captaincy material based on his early career either.
