Virat Kohli Sacked as Captain from ODI

1. Virat Kohli Sacked as Captain from ODI Virat Kohli refused to step down from Captaincy, forcing BCCI to take action against him without giving any prior notice. This was quite an unprofessional response of the BCCI, as the community directly named Rohit Sharma as Captain of ODI World Cup 2023. This unceremonious exit of Virat Kohli from the ODI Captaincy left all the cricket stunned. Firstly, the decision is itself quite shocking, over the decision; nothing was done with the procedure. However, the old days might have returned in cricket, where such things were common. BCCI preferred to end Kohli’s captaincy with a statement only and decided to move forward with Rohit Sharma. BCCI has given a time of 48 hours to Kohli, to step down from the captaincy; but he did not. The BCCI decided to move forward by handing over the responsibility of captaincy to Sharma. It’s the way of the BCCI that bothered fans more than their decisions. They decided not to even address or release any statement; they chose to just mention the name of Rohit Sharna as captain for ODI and T20 teams. The BCCI and the national selection committee shattered the dream of Kohli, who was aiming to lead India at home in the ODI World Cup of 2023. It is heard that Kohli dared BCCI to remove him from captaincy, and the committee went ahead and did the same, and he was left with none other than the option of accepting the decision.

2. At the time when India was expelled from the T20 World Cup, at the group level stage; Kohli's leadership was considered on the endpoint. However, BCCI was planning to give a four and half year's honorable exit to Kohli; but one wrong move by Kohli left him with no other option. Kohli started his captaincy under the guidance of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and was given time to play white-ball captaincy for the World Cup. In the next two years, he became a powerful captain. According to resources, the Indian skipper is not quite popular among the players in the dressing room. The primary problem with Kohli is trust issues. He only speaks about clear communication and then due to lack of communication from his side; he lost respect as captain. Ravi Shastri, the former coach of Men in Blue Jersey, advised that “Kohli should concentrate on his batting”. Anil Kumble is one of the examples when the Kohli leadership failed and Anil lost his way to make a great career. It's not only about Kuldeep only; many players have been facing something like this. Moreover, at the end of the England series, Kohli didn't get along with the former coach Ravi Shastri. However, Kohli and Shastri never argued, but they couldn't see each other eye to eye. It has been observed that Kohli was not a good leader. This will be a new start for Kohli to play without being the leader. However, he will be leading the Test matches as a great cricketer. With this, the rule of King Kohli is over and now the leadership era has started. Cricket fans are both upset and happy. Some are looking forward to seeing Rohit Sharma’s leadership. And others will be going to miss Kohli as captain. Users can download the Royal11 app and can continue with keeping Kohli, a captain in the fantasy 11 team.
