Players who can replace Virat Kohli as the Captain
Virat Kohli had declared that he will be stepping down as the T20I captain of the Indian cricket team following the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Kohli stated that he wishes to relieve himself of some burden.
According to sources, Kohli desires to focus more on his batting, which is why he made this critical decision. Below are the three players who could very well replace Virat Kohli as India’s upcoming captain.
1. Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is the top pick to replace Kohli as T20I captain. Rohit Sharma, like Kohli, is a stunning batsman in all three formats.
Rohit Sharma has extensive global experience and an impressive track record as the captain of the Mumbai Indians franchise in the Indian Premier League.
Our very favorite batsman had also directed the Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles, more than any other team.
2. KL Rahul
If the selection committee wishes to go with a relatively young player to replace Virat Kohli as T20I captain, KL Rahul is a pretty good option.
KL Rahul is currently in fantastic form. During an August Test against England, he struck a century.
He has also performed impressively for Punjab Kings in the IPL 2021. He presently wears the orange cap and has had several match-winning hits for the team.
3. Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant is yet another player who could take the place as captain in T20Is. He is a rising star who has managed to earn a guaranteed place in the Indian team thanks to his outstanding batting as well as wicket-keeping abilities.
Pant has made a name for himself in all three formats of world cricket in 2021. The batsman was also made captain of the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021 and he performed admirably. He already has demonstrated that he possesses some leadership abilities.
