ICC World Test Championship is something which every cricket team captain is looking forward to it. Indian captain Virat Kohli who is going to play this format for the very first time is eagerly waiting to rub shoulders with his boys against West Indies in a two-match Test series.

Kohli is all excited to play World Test Championship and also reckons that a format like this is the “right” thing for Test Cricket. “It's very exciting. I think it's happening at the right time for Test cricket. Although you are going to play a bilateral series, the meaning and importance are way more. You have to plan for every series. I was excited about something of this sort and now it's coming to life,” Kohli said. Currently, the Indian team is preparing for West Indies assignment. Kohli also said that he has learnt a lot in his life from failures. “I have learnt most in my life from failures and setbacks. The worst setbacks have not only motivated me but also improved me as a person, made me understand the importance of those times more than the success,” skipper Kohli told TOI in an interview. “Most importantly, it builds your character because suddenly this thing happens. When your belief is right up there and everyone's playing so well, and suddenly, you know, you've been outplayed. It's very difficult to digest because you know you didn't make many mistakes to be knocked out. “When you make mistakes, you can point them out and take ownership of that but when you have been outplayed then the acceptance becomes difficult. You wake up and think you didn't do much wrong but we are still out.” With the young generation of cricketers like Pant, Gill and Iyer in the grand scheme of things playing some good cricket, Virat Kohli said that he admires the young guns a lot. “To see the number of people coming up and ready with match-winning abilities is something that hasn't happened a lot that consistently in the past. “They (the young players) are amazing. The level of confidence that they have is amazing to see. As I have mentioned so many times before, at 19-20, we were not even half the players these guys are. Skills have developed because of exposure to tournaments like the IPL. It's the best thing that can happen to a cricketer. “They are so confident by the time they come here that they learn very quickly from their mistakes because they have already played in front of so many people. But the intent has to be that 'I am using this platform to play for my country'. And I think that these guys are in that zone.”
