Virat Kohli steps down as Team India’s T20I captain
Virat Kohli has been the captain of the Indian T20I team for around five years now. However, in recent months, Virat has been struggling with the bat. The bio-bubble life is also taking a toll on him. Considering all these factors and the workload, Virat decided to give up his T20I captaincy.
He will continue to hold the position until the end of the upcoming T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma is likely to take up the mantle. Virat also revealed that discussions regarding his decision to step down had been happening for a while.

A few days before Virat made his announcement official, a news report had come up hinting that the current India skipper will step down from limited-overs captaincy. However, a BCCI official slashed the rumours. Hence, there was widespread criticism directed towards the report.
This has made fans sceptical about any news that comes online. It has reached such a level that a recent reply by a fan to a BCCI post announcing Virat’s decision hit the peak.

The particular user asked BCCI for the “Source” when the official news came out from where it was supposed to come. Intentionally or done ignorantly, the reply did receive many reactions. Meanwhile, IPL 2021 is set to start on September 19th. Team India will then regroup for the T20 World Cup, which will take place in UAE and Oman. The event will start on October 17th.
