Indian Test skipper, Virat Kohli was named the seventh best Test skipper for the year of 2015 by The Telegraph UK, while Pakistan Test skipper, Misbah-ul-Haq topped the chart. Over years Misbah has established himself as Pakistan’s mainstay. Though he was left out in 2010, he fought back after the spot-fixing scandal hit Pakistan to succeed Salman Butt. He worked his way back into the side for the ICC World Cup 2011 and following Shahid Afridi’s dramatic ‘retirement’, was appointed captain for ODIs and T20Is as well. Often blamed for taking it too slow and not forcing the pace, Misbah has borne the flak after numerous defeats. Virat Kohli’s batting ‘not impressive’: Ahmed Shehzad
