India skipper Virat Kohli to step down as T20I captain after this T20 World Cup.
Kohli took to social media to announce the news.
His note reads-
I have been fortunate enough to not only represent India but also lead the Indian Cricket Team to my utmost capability. I thank everyone who
has supported me in my journey as the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team. I couldn’t have done it without them – the boys, the support staff,
the selection committee, my coaches, and each and every Indian who
prayed for us to win.
The understanding workload is a very important thing and considering my
immense workload over the last 8-9 years playing all 3 formats and captaining regularly for last 5-6 years, I feel I need to give myself space
to be fully ready to lead the Indian Team in Test and ODI Cricket. I
have given everything to the Team during my time as 20 Captain and
I will continue to do so for the T20 Team as a batsman moving forward.
Of course, arriving at this decision took a lot of time. After a lot of
contemplation and discussions with my close people, Ravi bhai and also Rohit, who have been an essential part of the leadership group, I’ve decided to step down as the T20 Captain after this T20 World Cup in Dubai in October. I have also spoken to the secretary Mr Jay Shah and
the President of BCCI Mr Sourav Ganguly along with all the selectors about the same. I will continue to serve Indian Cricket and the Indian Team to the best of my ability.
