Ex-IND player feels Kohli’s exit as ODI captain will augur well for Team India

In conversations with Virat Kohli being fired as the ODI captain of the Indian team, former Indian international Atul Wassan felt that the prolific batsman himself “consciously” realized that he could not lead the team in all three forms.

Kohli was replaced by Rohit Sharma as the captain of ODI on Wednesday, completing the leadership reform of the Indian board of directors in white ball cricket. The seasoned opener Rohit was also appointed as the captain of the Indian T20 last month-he achieved positive results in the home game against New Zealand.

Wassan welcomed BCCI’s decision to appoint Rohit as the captain of ODI and T20I and emphasized the unprecedented success of the Mumbai Indian captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

“I don’t think it is to remove Verat. Verat himself also consciously realized that he can’t lead all three formats. He has been struggling and every player has gone through this bad period. He has set himself up. Such a high standard, even if he is in his 40s-50 years old is not counted, but he has a lot of expectations of him,” Vassan told the news agency ANI. “I said many years ago that these three formats are led by one person for any country and any team. Rohit has shown that he is an excellent leader. He won the IPL championship, but Virat No. Maybe Virat will also find his second gear and second wind, which bodes well for Indian cricket,” he added.

Kohli led India in 95 one-day international matches and achieved 65 victories. He withdrew from the leadership role with an excellent winning rate of 70.43, which is the highest winning rate of the Indian ODI captain leading the national team in more than 10 games.

Speaking of the leadership’s stay, Vassan said that Corley enjoys the burden of the captain, and also mentioned the possibility of the Corley-Shastri duo “round the corners”.

“I think it relates to its overall view. If you see that we lost in some major tournaments and World Cups, this is also a big problem. Maybe Virat and Shastri are also pressing the authorities. So, BCCI may want to edit “So are their wings. That’s why this happened,” Vasan further said.

“The captain is a burden, but Verat enjoys it. So, he has been captain for so long, so the record can speak. Indian cricket is in a high position. He got the baton from Duny, which gave him performance, and he also A player who has achieved some good results,” he added.

Regarding the future of Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara in the Indian team, Wassan said, “Rahane is struggling and making him a deputy captain is untenable. Rohit’s performance. Pujara and Rahane are dying.”

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.”
