In cricket; the Coach is the decision-maker along with Board members but when it comes to on the field it depends on some portion of the Captaincy. The captain plays a major role in deciding the momentum of the team management on the field.


Imagine Virat Kohli is playing under the Captaincy of Dhoni, and Virat is not able to overcome weakness for his right strike.


Lets have a moment from Virat's Batting

His major strength has become a weakness when more fielders are lined up there. But Slowly, he changed his batting stroke in a 360-Degree way. Fielders are then set up to field dynamically. Now he is the king of his weakness; mixing up his core and dynamic shots together.

A captain on the field plays major role, taking instant decisions based on situations. From arranging the fielding to lining up the bowler against batsman and even more. And individual performance is name of the game.
