New Delhi: India's stand-in-skipper Virat Kohli is facing baptism by fire in the first Test against Australia in Brisbane next month, but former Indian captain Mohammed Azharuddin feels the result of this one match should not be the basis for passing a judgement on his leadership skills.

"You should not be very judgemental about Kohli for this one Test. Because one should understand that he got the captaincy by default because MS Dhoni is injured. So I think that we should not judge him on just a single Test. We should leave him alone, let him enjoy and let his bat do the talking," Azharuddin told PTI.
