Shift In Power In Indian Cricket Team

Upcoming India – South Africa the Indian Cricket team is going to witness a great change. Virat Kohli had stepped down as captain and Rohit Sharma is given control of the team. The board and selectors have decided to take away the captainship from Virat Kohli from the One-day international cricket format and for the T20 format.

The board declared that the current performance of the team and of Virat Kohli is not up to the mark. The statement moreover stated that Virat Kohli will continue to be an important part of the team.

Virat Kohli is one of the star performers, the team highly depends on him in the batting section. It is not the only example of shifting the responsibility of being captain from one player to another. Sachin

Tendulkar was also capped as a captain before Sourav Ganguly was given the responsibility. Sachin Tendulkar was the main batsman for the team but it was getting hard on him to carry on the responsibility of captain and as well as the responsibility of the main run-scorer.

There was a controversy over the name of the captain for the upcoming series, but the declaration of the new captain started a new era in Indian cricket. It is to be seen what new can be witnessed from this new set of the captain and couch. The last performance of Rohit Sharma as the captain is quite decent and the record of his Indian Premier League career as the captain also cemented his possibility to be the new captain of the Indian cricket team.

The T20 World Cup is next year and it is followed by the One-day international world cup in 2023. It is very important to get the team prepared for the upcoming crucial series. The new coach and captain have to be very focused on making a team ready for these Cups. It is expected that Rohit Sharma can carry on his trend of being successful as a captain and get the team together to give their best.

Virat Kohli will remain an important part of the team too. As it is known that the Indian cricket team is missing out on Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and might miss some more. It is not going to be a cakewalk for the new pair in the team.
