After a debacle in WTC finals, calls are loud to remove Virat Kohli as Indian skipper. The big question is whether it is the need of the hour. A section say his aggression has affected his leadership skills and batting has taken a backseat.
Another group says that Virat Kohli is an absolute champion and a superstar. He has added steel to the Indian team. He is 100 percent committed to the job.
Kohli is not only India’s most-capped Test captain (61), but also the most successful with 33 wins, and under him, the Indian team has finished as the No.1-ranked Test side for five consecutive years. There is no denying fact that India lost the WTC finals because they were underprepared and under-cooked going into that Test match.
Former England spinner Graeme Swann suggests it would be a ‘crime against cricket’ to remove Virat Kohli as captain of the Indian team, given what he brings to the table. A few say that Indian skipper also made some wrong calls that led to the demolition of team India as the Indian skipper could not prove himself to be spot on with his bowling changes and field placements.
Moreover, Virat has so far failed to win any ICC trophy ever since he has been appointed as the Indian limited-overs captain in 2017. He has also been leading the Indian Test team since 2014.Wait and watch what unfolds now.
