    "editor1": "<p><strong>Pune, Oct 14:<\/strong>&nbsp;Former batsman Gautam Gambhir said that the Indian captain Virat Kohli&#39;s tendency to go for wins in Test matches without being afraid of a loss is what sets him apart from his predecessors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli led India to a record 11th series win at home on Sunday beating South Africa by an innings and 137 runs in Pune.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If you are scared of losing, you will never win and probably that&#39;s the biggest plus he has, he isn&#39;t scared of losing,&quot; Gambhir said on Cricket Live exclusively for Star Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since Kohli took over the Test captaincy in 2014, India have lost only two series. One was in their 2017\/18 tour of South Africa, while the other came in England in 2018. This year, they have won series in Australia and the West Indies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We talk about Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni, but what Virat has created, India has started winning overseas as well,&quot; said Gambhir.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He&#39;s taken that risk, which a lot of other captains have not been able to take. The others always wanted an extra batter so that he they don&#39;t lose the test match. Whereas, Virat is the only captain who has gone abroad and played with five bowlers, with Hardik Pandya being an all-rounder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gambhir gave the example of the last Test match in India&#39;s tour of South Africa which the former won on a treacherous pitch at the Wanderers. &quot;There was Hardik Pandya and four other fast bowlers. He has taken that gamble and he has succeeded,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n",
