Former Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist backed Virat Kohli following India's heart-wrenching defeat against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final, saying that the Indian captain, whose transition has been excellent in the recent years, should not be judged on the basis of performance in just one game. Had Mahendra Singh Dhoni been the captain of the current Indian side then the situation would have been quite different, Gilchrist said that the issue about who should lead India had ended a long time ago. Although Gilchrist admitted that Dhoni is an inspirational leader, he believes that Kohli's tournament was brilliant and that he is the right man to lead the side.
