Kohli has been one in all India’s most profitable white-ball captains. In 95 ODIs, he gained 65, giving him a successful proportion of 70-plus. In 45 T20Is, he led India to victory 27 occasions.

He took over limited-overs captaincy from Dhoni in 2017 and below him India gained limited-overs collection in each nation. But he did not triumph in ICC occasions. The closest India got here to annexing world silverware was on the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, the place the crew misplaced to Pakistan within the ultimate.

The T20 World Cup in UAE this yr was most likely the nadir; India dropping their first two group league video games towards Pakistan and New Zealand and crashing out of the match within the group section.
The BCCI apparently took a kinder view on the crew’s T20 World Cup debacle, contemplating it as “one bad tournament”. But it’s learnt the board wished a brand new path in limited-overs cricket below a brand new captain. The subsequent T20 World Cup in Australia is lower than 12 months away, whereas India will host the 50-over World Cup in 2023. The BCCI and the choice committee clearly wished to offer Rohit time to construct the squad for the 2 upcoming ICC occasions.
