‘He might have been feeling suffocated’: Ex-India wicket keeper on Kohli
Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim believes pent-up pressure and a series of unfortunate events have led to Virat Kohli’s unexpected resignation as Test captain.
It all started with Kohli’s decision to drop the T20I captain after the climax of the 2021 UAE and Oman T20I World Cups. He was then replaced as ODI captain, which the BCCI said was not ideal for a nation with a divided captain. The final nail in the coffin proved to be India’s 2-1 loss to South Africa in the Test series as Kohli relinquished the role just days after the final.
In an interview with Indian News, Karim commented that Kohli may have decided to take this step because of suffocation. “It’s hard to say what’s behind that. The pictures we’ve seen over the last four or five months, it means there’s a lot of pressure on him. He’s probably been suffocating so he’s probably ended up with the captain. Relationship.
“Virat Kohli is a guy who never backs down. I agree that India lost the Test series in South Africa, they were expected to win, but he was always up for a challenge like this. This is his first time himself make that decision,” he explained.
Kareem also insisted that he did not expect so many changes in such a short period of time, and Kohli must have taken that into consideration as he is a man who fought to the end.
“I didn’t expect so much change so soon. The first setback was when Kohli himself decided he would not be captain of the T20. We also talked about the time when the World Cup was coming up and the team was selected and Kohli did Such a decision is really surprising.
“Then the selectors decided that Kohli would not continue to captain ODI cricket either. Too many changes happened too quickly. The first change was initiated by Kohli himself, but after that, the selectors played in the changes In the end, it was Kohli’s personal decision again,” concluded Karim.
