Virat Kohli’s decision to quit India’s T20 captaincy after next month’s World Cup is certainly an act of self-preservation in terms of getting his mojo back with the bat but at the same time, the development seems to be a sign of things to come in the ODI set-up.
While Kohli has maintained that he would remain captain in the other two formats, one can’t say with absolute certainty that he will be India’s 50-over skipper going into the 2023 World Cup at home. While workload management is an absolutely acceptable reason for quitting T20 captaincy, but if one looks at India’s calendar till 2023, there are just about 20 bilateral T20 games apart from the World Cup in which Kohli won’t be captain.
