Team India captain Virat Kohli has surprised everyone by announcing that he will step down from the captaincy after the T20 World Cup. Virat has said that he will leave the captaincy of the T20 format and continue playing in the Indian team as a batsman. He has given this information to his fans on Instagram. Captaining the Indian team in all three formats is affecting Virat’s game a lot and his form has also not been doing much for some time. For this reason, he has decided to leave the captaincy of the T20 team.
Anushka won the hearts of fans
His fans are unhappy with Virat Kohli leaving the captaincy, but his wife Anushka has supported him in this decision. Anushka has created a heart emoji while sharing the post of Kohli’s decision to quit the captaincy. Through this he has supported Virat. Anushka is also happy with Kohli’s decision, as she hopes that it will improve Virat’s form and will again result in a smattering of hundreds with his bat.
Kohli to captain Test and ODI
Virat Kohli may have left the captaincy of the Indian T20 team, but he will continue to be the captain of the Test and ODI team. For the last two years, Virat has not scored a century in any format, after which it is being said that his form has deteriorated due to the pressure of captaincy in all three formats. This is the reason why Kohli has decided to step down from the captaincy in the shortest format.
Kohli has been a great captain
Kohli’s record as a T20 captain has been phenomenal. He has played 45 matches for the Indian team as a captain and out of which he has won 27, while India has to face defeat in 14 matches. There is no result for 4 matches. Virat has left the captaincy of the T20 team only after taking opinion from his close people. He also spoke to the team’s head coach Ravi Shastri and Rohit Sharma about this.
Rohit Sharma or Rahul could be the next captain
In Indian cricket, for a long time, there was a demand to give Rohit the captaincy of the T20 team, because Rohit’s record in the IPL has been excellent as a captain. Rohit is one of the most experienced players in the team. Although Rohit is 34 years old and if the Indian management thinks more about the future, then Lokesh Rahul or Rishabh Pant can be given the command of the T20 team. Although Rohit is also the vice-captain of the team in limited overs, he is being considered as the prime contender for the captaincy. Rohit has won five IPL titles for Mumbai Indians
