Team India’s veteran player Sunil Gavaskar has given a statement about the T20 captaincy of the Indian team after Virat Kohli. He believes that India should prepare KL Rahul as the captain of the future.
New Delhi: Team India captain Virat Kohli surprised everyone when he announced to leave the captaincy of T20. Kohli will leave his post after the ICC World Cup. However, now the question has started to arise that who will be the next T20 captain? The name of Rohit Sharma comes first in this list. India’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma is all set to play the captain’s role. But in the meantime, a big statement of Team India’s veteran player Sunil Gavaskar has come.
According to Gavaskar, this player should become the captain
Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has said that India should prepare KL Rahul as the captain of the future. Gavaskar wants BCCI to make Rahul the vice-captain of India for the time being.
Quoting Sports Tak, Gavaskar said, It is a good thing that BCCI is looking forward. It is important to think ahead. Gavaskar said, if India wants to prepare a new captain, then Rahul can be seen. He has performed well. Even now in England his batting was very good. He is also doing well in IPL and 50 overs cricket at international level. He can be made the vice-captain.
Let us tell you that Gavaskar has praised Karnataka player Rahul for captaining the IPL. Rahul is the captain of Punjab Kings.
Kohli will continue as the captain of Test and ODI
However, Virat Kohli has decided to continue the captaincy of the Test and ODI team. For the last few years, Kohli’s bat has not been able to run as it used to. Kohli has failed to score any century in all formats for the last two years. One of the biggest reasons behind his poor form has been that he captains the team in all three formats and his burden was not handled by him.
Kohli’s record has been excellent
Kohli’s record as T20 captain has been quite impressive. He has captained Team India in a total of 45 matches and in 27 of them Team India has won. At the same time, India has lost in 14 matches. Whereas there were 4 matches whose result could not come out. Kohli told that he took the decision to leave the captaincy of the T20 team only after taking the opinion of his close people. The team’s head coach Ravi Shastri and Rohit Sharma were also involved in this.
