The era of Virat Kohli as India captain is over across all formats after the 33-year-old’s announcement on Saturday that he is stepping down as Test skipper.
In a statement, he thanked BCCI and MS Dhoni for the opportunity. Kohli wrote, “I have always believed in giving my 120 percent in everything I do, and if I can’t do that, I know it’s not the right thing to do. I have absolute clarity in my heart and I cannot be dishonest to my team.”
When Virat Kohli took charge of the Test team after Dhoni’s shock retirement, India were languishing 7th in ICC rankings. From there to No. 1 in the world rankings and staying there for 5 years had been a spectacular turnaround.
No captain in Test history has scored more runs than Virat Kohli (5864) at a better average (54.80)
Only Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting had more Test wins as captains with better ratios too. Says a lot if you’re competing against Australian legends. who had arguably the greatest Test sides to lead.
