Indian captain Virat Kohli has announced that he will leave the leadership of the Indian team in the T20 after the T20 World Cup this year.
The T20 World Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates this year and even before the announcement of the event, Virat Kohli has announced his resignation from the T20 leadership regardless of the outcome.
He said in a message on the social networking site Twitter that he would lead the Test and ODI team as well as be available as a player in the T20.
"Over the last eight to nine years of overload and then over the last five or six years of permanent leadership, I feel I need to give myself some time so that I can play for the Indian team in ODIs and Tests," he said. Be ready to lead.
"I have given my all to the Indian team as a T20 captain and will continue to do so as a batsman," he said.
Kohli said he took a long time to make that decision and consulted with his seniors as well as Board of Control for Cricket in India officials before taking the step.
He thanked all the players, selection committee, coaches and all the Indian fans who prayed for the team's victory for their support during his tenure.
Virat Kohli's decision comes a few days after the Indian Cricket Board announced that the famous batsmen will lead the team in all three formats.
Kohli has been suffering from poor form for the past few months and that is why there have been rumors circulating that the Indian team could be changed after the T20 World Cup. Were able to get a vote of confidence.
Jay Shah had said that no change proposal of Kohli is under consideration, Virat Kohli will lead the team and we all fully support him.
Earlier this year, the captain of the Indian team revealed that after a complete failure with the bat in the 2014 tour of England, he felt lonely and stressed in the world.
After Virat Kohli's announcement, aggressive batsman Rohit Sharma is being considered as the strongest candidate to lead the Indian team.
Last year, when Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians won the Indian Premier League title for the fifth time, former opening batsman Gautam Gambhir said in a statement that if Rohit Sharma were to play for the Indian team in limited overs cricket. It would be very unfortunate if the opportunity for leadership did not come.
