Even though Virat Kohli openly acknowledged that he made a lot of mistakes while serving as captain, he insisted that his intentions were always good. Although Kohli captained India to multiple historic victories in the bilateral series, he came under fire for failing to take home an Apex Cricket Council trophy. 

During his time with the Indian team, he revolutionised Indian cricket's approach to fitness and achieved great things in red-ball cricket, which included the first-ever Test series victory on Australian soil. Under Kohli's leadership, the Asian superpowers played a combative style of cricket in the Test matches.

Following the 2021 T20 World Cup, Kohli resigned as India's T20I captain. He was also relieved of his ODI captaincy because the selectors preferred having one captain for all white-ball competitions. The Test captaincy was also given up by the master batsman in early 2022 following the South Africa series.

I have no shame in accepting that I have made many mistakes: Virat Kohli

In a segment of PUMA's Let There Be Sport documentary series, Kohli claimed that as the captain of the Indian team, he never had any self-serving intentions. He acknowledged that he really did make mistakes while in office, which is inevitable in any game. The former Royal Challengers Bangalore and Indian Team skipper spoke about how he might have made some mistakes during his captaincy tenure and had no shame in admitting it 

He said, “Hundred per cent. So I have no shame in accepting that I have made many mistakes when I was the captain. But the one thing I know, for sure, that I never did anything for my own selfish motives is that I can take guarantee of that from the one to the last day. I have not done anything for myself. I just had one goal to take the team ahead. I can totally accept if I have taken the decisions correctly or not.  I can totally accept it, you make mistakes like you make errors when you get out, that’s a failure. Failures will keep happening but the intent was never in the wrong, please. So I can absolutely take guarantee of that. Till that is in its right place, you will make mistakes, but you will learn from that as I said, you will not then start shining away from making things."
