Virat Kohli captaincy: A day after replacing him with Rohit Sharma as India’s ODI skipper, the BCCI on Thursday thanked Virat Kohli for displaying “grit, passion and determination” during his tenure.
Rohit was also named Kohli’s deputy in the Test format. The Mumbaikar is already India’s T20 captain.
“A leader who led the side with grit, passion & determination. Thank you Captain @imVkohli,” the Board tweeted on the day after completely omitting any reference to him in the press note that announced Rohit’s elevation to ODI captaincy.
A leader who led the side with grit, passion & determination. 🇮🇳🔝
