With Virat quitting national, franchise leadership in a matter of three days, BCCI sources tell mid-day one-day resignation is also imminent

Virat Kohli
If Virat Kohli chose to quit only as T20 captain after next month’s World Cup in the UAE and Oman, he will be under pressure to stay away from the ODI captaincy as well, a BCCI official told mid-day on Sunday. Doubtless, the BCCI expected him to quit as ODI captain as well. The writing was on the wall, it is learnt, as soon as a few players informed the BCCI that things were not rosy on the Kohli-led ship.
However much some sections of the establishment would want him to give up the ODI captaincy and make their point about not wanting separate captains for T20 and ODI cricket (which is only fair), it must be said that Kohli has been a successful ODI captain and the semi-final exit from the 2019 World Cup did not amount to disaster.
