Rohit Sharma can become India's captain after T20 World Cup! Will Kohli quit the captaincy?

After this year's T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma can become India's next ODI and T20 captain. At the same time, the current captain Virat Kohli can leave the captaincy of the T20 and ODI team to focus on batting. According to the news published in the Times of India, this thing has come to the fore.

Will Kohli quit the captaincy?

According to reports, Virat Kohli has had a long conversation with Rohit Sharma and the team management on this matter. After becoming a father, Virat Kohli can take this step to focus on batting. Virat Kohli himself will announce his decision to step down from the captaincy. Virat Kohli believes that he needs to focus on his batting and go back to become the best batsman in the world.

Rohit Sharma can become captain

BCCI sources told TOI that Virat Kohli has decided to share the captaincy responsibility with Rohit Sharma. Virat Kohli has had a long discussion on this issue with Rohit Sharma and the team management in the last few months. This conversation was going on since the victory of Team India on the tour of Australia this year.

Kohli's batting is affected

Virat Kohli's batting is being affected due to the pressure of captaincy in all three formats. Kohli also feels that his batting needs more time and more pace across formats. Anyway, between 2022 and 2023, India has to play two World Cups (ODI and T20), in which case it becomes even more important. Sources said that Virat also felt that his overall responsibilities as captain across formats were taking a toll on his batting. He needs space and freshness as he still has a lot to offer to the team.

Virat can play cricket for 5-6 years

If Rohit takes over as the captain for the white ball, Virat can continue to lead India in Tests and work on his T20 and ODI batting as well. Virat is just 32 years old and looking at his fitness, it can be said that he will easily play cricket for at least 5-6 years now.

Good relationship between Kohli and Rohit

TOI sources said, “If we talk about Rohit Sharma, he has won the IPL title 5 times and is second to none in the T20 captaincy record. If Rohit ever had to take charge as the white ball captain, then this is the time. If Rohit becomes the captain, then it will be a win-win deal for the Indian team, because Rohit and Virat have very good tuning with each other. Rohit Sharma has led Mumbai Indians to the IPL title 5 times under his captaincy. Kohli, on the other hand, has not won a single ICC trophy as a captain so far. Apart from this, he could not even win the IPL title.
