Rohit Sharma Captaincy: Rohit Sharma will hand over the ODI team responsibilities after the T20s and Virat Kohli will continue as the Test captain.
Virat Captain
Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli: After stepping down as Team India T20 captaincy, the ODI captaincy is now in the hands of Virat Kohli. The selectors also handed over the ODI team command to Rohit Sharma along with the Team India announcement for the South Africa tour. This means that the Indian team is currently playing the T20 World Cup and the 2023 World Cup next year under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. But the big question here is why Virat Kohli was also dropped from the ODI team captaincy. Let us know 4 reasons for this.
There is no doubt that Virat Kohli’s record as ODI captain is amazing. Under Virat’s leadership, Team India has won 15 of 19 ODI bilateral series. On home soil, he has won 8 of 9 bilateral series, but Virat has failed to win any of the ICC tournaments. Team India, led by Virat Kohli, missed out on a chance to win the Champions Trophy 2017 and World Cup 2019. It also failed to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021. This took away the ICC trophies for Virat Kohli.
As soon as Rohit Sharma becomes the T20 captain, it is clear that he will also change the ODI captain. Usually the captain is the same in the limited overs format. In the Test format, Australia and England also have captaincy. In such a situation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India, taking the same stand, felt it appropriate to retain Virat Kohli as Test captain.
Being constantly in the bio-bubble and being the captain of all three formats is not that easy. Virat Kohli has mentioned this many times in the public forum. Leading a team playing in all three formats is a challenge. Its impact is now also visible on Virat Kohli’s batting. Virat Kohli has not scored a century in international cricket for the last two years. After being relieved of the ODI and T20 captaincy, Virat Kohli will definitely be relieved as a batsman now.
The new coaching staff could also be a reason for removing Virat Kohli from the captaincy of ODI and T20 teams. Rahul Dravid became the head coach of Team India and came into the team with a new idea. Rahul Dravid is likely to want to take the team forward with a new captain.
