Mumbai: The former captain on team India in T20 – Virat Kohli on Monday more or less hinted that Rohit Sharma will replace him as T20 International skipper and said that “The senior opener has been overlooking things for a while now.”
The former captain Virat Kohli during the toss ahead of India’s final T20 World Cup match against Namibia on Monday said that “I have been immensely proud of how the team has played. Now I think it’s time for the next lotto to stake this team forward. Obviously, Rohit is here and he’s overlooking things for a while now.”
Monday’s game also marked the end of Ravi Shastri’s tenure as head coach along with some other support staff members, including bowling Coach Bharat Arun.
Kohli had announced his decision to give up T20 captaincy before the World Cup. He has also stepped down as captain of his IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore.
