Virat Kohli cited workload management as the reason to give up T20I captaincy and it remains to be seen who will take over as India's skipper in the shortest format after the World Cup in UAE.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Virat Kohli will step down as India's T20I captain after the World Cup
  • Kohli has a 27-14 win-loss ratio as captain but is yet to win a ICC trophy
  • Rohit Sharma remains the frontrunner to replace Kohli as the captain of India in the shortest format

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has backed Virat Kohli’s decision to give up India’s T20 captaincy after the World Cup, saying that this will release some pressure off the superstar cricketer’s shoulders.

Kohli has been leading the Indian team in all three formats since 2017 after MS Dhoni gave up the post. The 32-year-old cited workload management as the reason to give up T20I captaincy, and it remains to be seen who will take over as India's T20I captain after the World Cup.

"Well Done... that's a very unselfish decision and also one which will give you some nice space to hopefully relax a little away from all the pressures," Vaughan replied on Kohli's Instagram post.

Kohli has a 27-14 win-loss ratio as India's Twenty20 captain, while his Royal Challengers Bangalore team continue to chase their maiden IPL title.

Virat Kohli has yet to win a ICC trophy under his captaincy but the team’s series win under him in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, England and West Indies will remain the highlights of his leadership tenure starting 2017.

As of now, opener Rohit Sharma remains the frontrunner to replace Kohli as the captain of India in the shortest format. While the Indian cricket board is not in any hurry to name a successor now, Rohit, IPL's most successful captain with 5 titles, is likely to be elevated as India's Twenty20 skipper.

Inaugural champions India will begin their bid for a second Twenty20 World Cup title with a blockbuster Oct. 24 clash with arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai.
