virat kohli quitting t20i captaincy

Won?t give fodder to the controversy seekers, says <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2025-virat-kohli-likely-to-return-as-the-captain-of-rcb-faf-du-plessis-set-to-be-released-ahead-of-mega-auction/" title="Virat Kohli" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Virat Kohli</a> on quitting T20I leadership.



Indian skipper Virat Kohli refused to give any grounds to play for the controversy seekers when asked about the rationale behind his decision to not only leave India?s T20I captaincy but also leadership duties for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL.



The cricket fans along with experts were astonished by Virat Kohli?s abrupt decision to step down from the T20I captaincy of team India after the ongoing <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/womens-t20-world-cup-2024-semi-finals-when-and-where-to-watch-the-matches-in-india/" title="T20 World Cup" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">T20 World Cup</a> 2021 in UAE.?



Soon after the Indian skipper confirmed his decision, several theories were set afloat on social media that fueled that Virat's decision was driven by the BCCI's pressure. Though there was an indefinite number of theories floating in and out, one such was, Virat wanted Rohit Sharma to be removed from the limited-overs vice-captaincy, which apparently didn?t go well with the Indian think tanks and ultimately led to Virat?s quit.



"I have already explained myself a lot and I don't think I need to harp on that anymore," Kohli said when asked the reason to announce it before the T20 World Cup.



"Our focus is to play well in this World Cup and do what we need to do as a team. The rest of people are trying to dig up things that don't exist and I am not someone who is ever going to give fodder to that," Kohli, who was visibly irritated at the question, said.



"I have explained myself very honestly and openly and if people feel there's more to it than what I have already said, I feel pretty bad for them. That's certainly not the case."

<h2>There was absolutely no pressure on Virat from BCCI: Sourav Ganguly</h2>



Sourav Ganguly in his recent interaction with Aaj Tak explained that there was no pressure on the Indian skipper and even he was stunned with Virat?s decision.



"I was surprised (that Virat Kohli decided to step down as T20 captain). This decision must have been taken only after the England tour and it is his decision. There was no pressure from our end. We didn't tell him anything," Ganguly said.



The BCCI president further asserted that the captaincy may look good from the outside and there is unquestionably name and fame attached to it, however, it is equally taxing for the player.



"We don't do things like that because I myself have been a player so I understand. It is very difficult to be a captain in all formats for this long.



"I was a captain for six years, it looks good from the outside, there is respect and all that. But you get burnt out on the inside and it happens to any captain. Not just to Tendulkar or Ganguly or Dhoni or Kohli but to the captain that will come up next as well. It is a tough job."

Won?t give fodder to the controversy seekers: Virat Kohli on quitting T20I leadership

Virat Kohli the captain of <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/javed-miandad-fires-a-warning-to-the-indian-cricket-team-following-their-refusal-to-travel-to-pakistan-for-the-champions-trophy/" title="the Indian Cricket Team" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">the Indian Cricket Team</a> and the face of Indian Cricket is expected to be relieved of One-Day International Captaincy. After Virat Kohli announced last month that he will step down as Captain of the Indian T20 International team, reports have surfaced that he will be relieved from the duty of the entire white-ball circuit. This is a report given by the most trusted daily, The Times of India. Here is a look at how the events panned out: -?



<h2>Team for New Zealand T20 Series to be Picked: -&nbsp;</h2>



With the team for the New Zealand T20 Series to be picked in the forthcoming week and to discuss the captaincy issue. The BCCI officials and the selection committee will be meeting in the next few days. The issue that seems to be troubling is the fact that India has once again failed to win an ICC Tournament. That too in the White-Ball format. India does not have many 50 over games in the next cricketing season and the next ICC event also happens to be a T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022.??



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/11/cricket-co2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-78993" /><figcaption>Rohit is the front runner to get the captaincy after Virat steps down.</figcaption></figure>



?First things first the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/england-announce-their-test-squad-for-the-new-zealand-series-allrounder-jacob-bethell-receives-maiden-call-up/" title="squad for the New" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">squad for the New</a> Zealand Series needs to be decided. Rohit hasn?t yet said that he doesn?t want to lead in T20Is against New Zealand. And why would he not want to lead? It is his first series as full-time T20 captain.?, a BCCI official said when enquired whether Rohit Sharma will take a rest for a series or two. This query was raised after several media outlets reported that many senior cricketers such as Kohli,?Bumrah, Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma will be taking time off from the game.??



<h2>Virat Kohli Unlikely to Remain ODI Captain: -&nbsp;</h2>



In the forthcoming home season, there are only 3One Day International games to be played. All games are against the West Indies and having a split captaincy for just 3 games makes less sense. Moreover, with just 2 years remaining for the 2023 ODI World Cup, the BCCI will be having a master plan to conquer this event. The heart of the matter is that having split white-ball captaincy can add to a rift between the players. To avoid such scenarios, it is expected that BCCI will hand over the captaincy to one person itself. Whether Kohli goes down from the position voluntarily or waits for BCCI to give him the push, is now what every fan awaits.??
