Vengsarkar trashes talks about captaincy affecting Virat Kohli’s batting

As many have pointed out, Virat Kohli has seen his batting form decline. The former India captain has been unable to reach triple figures in any form for more than two years. 2021 marks the end of Kohli’s captaincy from T20 format, shortly after he was sacked as ODI captain. Now, following the 2-1 Test series win over South Africa, Kohli dropped another bombshell when he announced he would also step down from the longer-form leadership role. While we’re still not sure what led to the decision, many believed it was a good one, proving it would allow the 33-year-old to fully focus on his strokes.

However, India legend Dilip Vengsarkar doesn’t think so, backing the former India captain’s performance despite missing centuries. Sharing his thoughts on the topic in an interview with Gulf News, the former cricketer said: “I disagree with this because I feel Kohli has had a dream for almost five years as a batsman and captain. For all the talk about his current slimming phase, I feel that Indians are often obsessed with statistics, which I don’t believe.” “Yes, he did not have a century in the past few years, but he used his own way, adapting The movement and rebound of the ball at the wicket in South Africa was exemplary. His commitment and intentions have been fantastic,” added Vengsarkar. The 65-year-old recalled his days as head of the search committee when the conversation shifted to who should succeed Kohli in the Test.

“Interestingly, my committee faced a similar situation when Rahul Dravid stepped down as captain and we were about to have a tough trip to Australia. MS Dhoni, who was leading in the mid-2000s, got a boost, but we picked Anil Kumble and he did a great job.”

“If you ask me, having an ad hoc arrangement with Rohit Sharma or even Ravi Ashwin for a year or so while nurturing someone, that’s probably an actual idea,” Vengsarkar said.
