‘How can things go back to normal again?’: Ex-Pakistan captain on why Kohli quitting captaincy is a huge loss to India
After Virat Kohli’s abrupt resignation as Test captain on Saturday, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt believes Indian cricket will never be the same.
The decision came just days after India lost a three-match Test series 2-1 in South Africa. Despite winning a historic first Test at Centurion, the less experienced Proteas team fought back to win the next two games and ultimately win the series. In a video on his YouTube channel, Butt said Kohli had brought an important ingredient that Indian cricket missed in order to achieve the expected success. Going further, he commented that Indian cricket will never be the same again.
“How can things go back to normal when he’s no longer the captain? He will now show up as a player and try to play his best. When he leads, he will work with full direction and vision like MS Dhoni. “He’s often criticised for being too aggressive, but that’s what’s missing in Indian cricket and that’s what he gets. More gains than losses. It would be a huge loss for him not to be captain,” explained Butt.Meanwhile. In the video, left-handed Butt also tries to guess the real reason behind Kohli’s big announcement.
“After reading his tweets, I think he’s had enough. It’s not an age for players to go, ‘Okay, I’m done. Please someone else take over”. He has 5 years left and he’s not completely out of cricket.
“I feel like in the setup not everything is going well. One of the other reasons could be the lack of like-minded people. There is an organized setup where Ravi Shastri is present and his crew is working on a machine with Kohli. (Now they are gone), I It felt like there was an issue with compatibility as well, and when that happened, everything else started to matter,” Bart explained.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
