Virat Kohli has given up the captaincy of the T20 format, according to his decision soon after the exit of Team India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, but will he now step down from the captaincy of the ODI team? Will resign too. Kohli will focus on batting.
Virat Kohli will leave the captaincy of ODI format after T20!
Team India’s former head coach Ravi Shastri believes that Virat Kohli can quit the captaincy from the second format after T20 International to deal with the pressure related to the corona virus. Shastri’s tenure with the Indian team came to an end with India’s early exit from the ICC T20 World Cup being played in the UAE.
Ravi Shastri made a big claim
When asked about the captaincy of Virat Kohli, Ravi Shastri said that he can leave the responsibility of leadership from other formats for better ‘workload management’.
‘Kohli will focus on batting’
Ravi Shastri said, ‘India has been at the top position for the last 5 years under his captaincy in Test cricket. He will not want to leave her until he feels mentally exhausted. However, he may quit the captaincy to focus on batting in the near future.
Ravi Shastri said, ‘It will not happen immediately, but it can happen. The same can happen with white ball cricket. He can say that now he just wants to focus on Test captaincy.
Terming Virat Kohli as the fittest cricketer, Ravi Shastri said
‘A lot of successful players have given up captaincy to focus on their batting. No doubt about that. When you are physically fit, you age in sports. In terms of captaincy, it will be his decision, but I see he cannot say no to white ball cricket but in red ball cricket he should continue playing. Because he has been the best messenger of Test cricket.
‘There should be a different captain for every format’
Ravi Shastri has guessed that apart from Virat Kohli, many other players can take a long break to deal with the fatigue of the bio bubble. He stressed on the need for different captains for different formats in the time of Kovid-19. He said, ‘It is important to have different captains in such times because it will reduce the pressure on the player. I think a lot of players want to take a break. You will need to take some rest from the game from time to time.
Increased fatigue due to IPL
On India’s world champion captain Kapil Dev accusing the players of giving priority to IPL over the country, Shastri said, “After the postponement of IPL in April, they (BCCI) had no option. I don’t think it will happen again in future. As far as Kapil is concerned, he is right about the IPL schedule as it increased the fatigue of the players.
