Virat Kohli Announced Quitting Team India T20 Captaincy, What Do You Think About His Decision?

Virat Kohli shocked cricket fans when he declared that after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, he will step aside as captain of Team India in T20. Following his announcement, a huge debate arose on social media over the reasons for his choice. The BCCI claimed in an official statement that they were in contact with Virat Kohli over his decision; nonetheless, rumors indicated that the Indian captain was under stress from the cricket board because he had yet to win an ICC competition. Now, at a pre-match news conference, Team India captain Virat Kohli has finally spoken out about his decision to step down after the T20 World Cup.

When questioned why he announced it before the T20 World Cup, Kohli stated, “I have already justified myself a lot and I don’t believe I need to dwell on that further.”

“Our main goal at this World Cup is to play well and do what we need to do as a team.” “The rest of the world is trying to find things that don’t exist, and I am not going to give them ammunition,” Kohli, who was clearly agitated by the question, remarked.

“I’ve described myself in a straightforward and transparent manner, and if people believe there’s more to it than what I’ve already stated, I pity them. That is clearly not the case.” If there was any pressure on Kohli to step down as captain, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly remarked, as reported by PTI, that it was his own decision. “I was pleasantly delighted (that Virat Kohli decided to step down as T20 captain). This decision has to be made after the England tour, and it is his to make. We didn’t put any pressure on ourselves. We didn’t say anything to him.” According to Ganguly.

“We don’t do stuff like that because I know what it’s like to be a player. It’s quite hard to be a leader for this long in any format. I was a captain for six years, and it appears to be a good place to work from the outside, with respect and all that. However, any captain might get burned out on the inside. Not just to Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dhoni, or Kohli, but also to the skipper who will take the field next. It’s a difficult job.”
