#2 Building a rapport with the skippers
How long will India continue with the split captaincy? MS Dhoni is past his prime and Virat Kohli has entered what many believe to be his purple patch. The onus then lies firmly with Kumble as to how he changes his approach according to the captains.
While Dhoni has played with Kumble and was his vice-captain, Kohli is certainly an unknown commodity as a skipper for the new appointee. He played along with Kohli for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, but so much water has passed under the bridge ever since, that it the equation will have to be built once again.
With Dhoni slowly fading, and Kohli assuming prominence, the role of Kumble to manage the transformation will assume great significance.
