Five reasons why an India-Zimbabwe ODI series is not a good idea

3. Virat Kohli‘s captanicy

Virat Kohli will be captaining India for the first time on his own without anyone’s interventions. Yes, he did captained in the few matches in West Indies but that was when MS Dhoni was lurking in the shadows and had the reins in his hands.

Now, the situation with Kohli being the captain is bit like handing over the reins of a car to a 16-year-old teenager. With Dhoni no more around and a helpless Duncan Fletcher at the helm of affairs, Kohli has the license to abuse.

Kohli, in any case, is well-known for his admiration of motherhood and sisterhood of those who play with or against him. Gautam Gambhir will happily testify that. On this tour, sanctity of mothers and sisters of Zimbabwe players is in danger. Not only Zimbabwe players, even the umpires will have to be on their toes while dealing with Indian captain. It seems even without that DRS in this series, umpires have their hands full.
