‘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.
