3 reasons why Rohit Sharma should replace Virat Kohli as Indian captain in white-ball cricket

#1 The move will help Virat Kohli focus on his batting

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is regarded the best batsman of this generation. The last thing that India would want is his performances going down as a batsman. Free from the responsibilities of captaincy, he should be able to focus on his batting a lot more and not be burdened by having the weight of the team on his shoulders.

Virat's ability and class with the bat with or without captaincy has never been in question and with Virat and Rohit having great camaraderie between them, there shouldn't be any rifts in the team as the decision to split the captaincy between both is one, which if taken, would be for the betterment of Indian cricket.

Undoubtedly, Virat is leading the team well in the Test format and should continue to hold the test captaincy but there might be time for a change of guard as far the shorter formats are concerned.
