For the last few days, it is continuously being reported that the captaincy of Indian team captain Virat Kohli is hanging on the sword and he will be removed from this post soon. There was also news that if Team India does not get success in the T20 World Cup, then Rohit will be given the captaincy in place of Kohli. But now a big update has come from the BCCI regarding the captaincy of Kohli.Kohli will remain the captain
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) treasurer Arun Dhumal on Monday rubbished reports that Virat Kohli might step down as the limited overs captain after the ICC T20 World Cup. There were reports that if India fails to win the T20 World Cup to be held in the UAE in October-November this year, then Kohli may be stripped of the limited overs captaincy and Rohit Sharma will get the responsibility.
BCCI rubbished the news
Dhumal has completely denied these claims. Dhumal told IANS, 'This is nonsense and nothing like this is going to happen. There is only a discussion going on in the media about this. BCCI has not discussed this matter. Earlier, it was reported that Kohli is quite successful in Test cricket but due to his failure in limited overs ICC events, Rohit may be handed over the task.
BCCI official only spread this news
Sources had said that the top BCCI officials have been discussing the issue ever since India's loss against New Zealand in the final of the World Test Championship in England, where they were reportedly unhappy with the Indian captain's team selection. Kohli had accommodated two spinners during the WTC final in a fast bowler friendly and overcast environment. However, Dhumal said that no such meeting has taken place.
