Virat Kohli The general, MS Dhoni The Lieutenant General: Alvin Kallicharran

Legendary West Indies batsman Alvin Kallicharran has seen Indian cricket’s remarkable rise in international cricket from the close quarters. The former West Indies batsman had seen India struggle even to challenge the elites when he was at his prime. But things changed soon and it would not be entirely wrong to say that the tables have completely turned now. While West Indies have struggled to do well in Tests and ODIs in the last one decade or so, India have become a force to reckon with.

India are currently the number one Test side in the world and number two in ODIs as well as T20Is. Unsurprisingly, Kallicharran has rated India as one of the favourites for the ICC World Cup 2019 while also stating just how the team was a few decades ago. He also praised the combination between skipper Virat Kohli and his predecessor MS Dhoni.

“Previously, they went on tours with just hope. Now they travel with the definite idea of winning. They are balanced, have the batting, the pace bowling and some good wrist spinners who can clean out sides,” Alvin Kallicharran told Sportstar.

“You have Kohli as the general and M.S. Dhoni as the lieutenant general. That’s a terrific combination,” he added.
