‘There comes a stage when you cannot handle pressure’: Shahid Afridi has his say on Virat Kohli leaving Test captaincy

Saturday, January 15, 2022 marked the end of an era in Indian cricket, with its star Virat Kohli announcing the end of his captaincy. After deciding to step down as India’s T20I captain and to be removed from the ODI, Kohli underwent the same Test career following Friday’s India series loss to South Africa.

The reasons for Kohli’s decision are known only to him, but the fact that his batting has declined and the fact that Virat has been unable to reignite his “treadmill” incarnation may have played a role.

With the captain’s load on, batsman Kohli can get back to the front and back to his free-flowing best. Reactions from around the world poured in after the decision was made, with the game’s legend reacting to the development. Everyone from Michael Vaughan and Shane Warne to Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar hailed Kohli’s contribution to Indian cricket, which has grown by leaps and bounds under his leadership.

Joining the ranks was former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, who shared his thoughts on the latest story in Indian cricket. Afridi agreed with Kohli’s decision, saying Virat had played enough cricket to know what was right and what was wrong. Kohli is going through a phase that all players go through, and Afridi thinks it’s time for Kohli to relinquish his huge responsibility as captain if it means he can enjoy hitting the ball.
