Mumbai: The Captain of the Indian Cricket Team Virat Kohli is likely to step down as skipper of the limited-overs format, say media reports. The Indian Opening batsman Rohit Sharma could be the next captain of team India. These changes in the team will be done after the T20 World Cup ends.
Captain Kohli will continue being the captain of the Indian Test team but will step down as T20I and ODI captain. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is aware of the sensitivity of this news and has been planning to go ahead for a long time.
Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli – Team India won 38 test matches out of 65.
India won 65 one-day international (ODI) matches out of 95, and 29 T20 matches out of 45 under the captainship of Virat Kohli.
Kohli’s record as a captain has been good even in the limited-overs format. In fact, since 2018 Virat Kohli has taken India to some memorable Test victories.
Kohli feels that his batting across formats needs more time and greater impetus as India is looking to play two World Cups in 2022 and 2023. Kohli’s batting has been affected for the last two years as he hasn’t scored a single hundred for nearly two years now. That is very unlike how Virat Kohli scores his runs.
