Mohammad Kaif says Virat Kohli could have changed Colombo Test outcome
Mohammad Kaif stated that Virat Kohli's presence could have altered India's approach in the drawn Colombo Test against Sri Lanka.
Former India batter Mohammad Kaif believes the second Test result in Colombo could have been different had Virat Kohli been in the side.
Kaif argued that Kohli's aggressive approach and ability to maintain team intensity would have prevented the lethargy that allowed Sri Lanka to force a draw.
India won the two-Test series 1-0 despite the second Test ending without a result.
