3 frequent mistakes that Virat Kohli and India need to stop committing

#2: A permanent vice-captain for the side

It will be unfair to keep Ajinkya Rahane on the bench - as it happened in South Africa - and then ask him to captain the side if Kohli is not playing due to an injury. The Indian panel of selectors must sit together with the captain and coach to figure out a player who can be Kohli's deputy in all matches.

R Ashwin or Murali Vijay can fit that bill if the board is not keen on playing Rahane in all matches. But ideally, the vice-captain of the Test side should be a player who is a regular member across all three formats of the game.
