Reuters: Thrust back into the India captaincy after Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s shock decision to retire from tests last week, Virat Kohli hopes to put right some of the mistakes he made in his first match in charge against Australia. The aggressive right-handed batsman had deputised in the injured Dhoni’s absence in the first test in Adelaide, which India lost by 48 runs.

The 26-year-old has again been thrust into the leadership role for the fourth and final test in Sydney, which starts on Tuesday, after Dhoni unexpectedly called time on his test career following the drawn third match in Melbourne. “There were quite a few things that I sat down and analysed in Adelaide that can be improved on and I’ve thought about them in the past few days,” Kohli told reporters at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday. “What are the things that I can correct from Adelaide, the mistakes I made in that game? “Hopefully I’ll get those right and try to make the right decisions in every situation out there in the middle.” Australia have already won the series, rescheduled after the death of Phillip Hughes, after taking the first two games in Adelaide and Brisbane.
