The very best leaders are ones who can work within a system and change it. Good ones can cope, manipulating what they can and accepting that some things are just beyond their control.
Accepting that something is impossible simply does not exist in Virat Kohli’s worldview. This is one of the reasons he will always go for a win, even if it means almost certain defeat in the process. There is no room for conservative thinking in Kohli’s cricket world.
This was clear in the very first Test match he led, standing in for Mahendra Singh Dhoni in Adelaide. India went hell for leather in the chase, long after their chances of losing outstripped their chances of winning. Had Dhoni been in charge, it is safe to say that the Test would have been drawn. Or, at the very least, that would have been the attempt, towards the end.
