He had said in the press conference before going to South Africa that he was removed from the captaincy of ODIs without informing. There was a lot of controversy about this.
Dhoni remembered
Virat Kohli is no longer the captain of any format. He will now play for India as a player. Before leaving the captaincy of the Test, Kohli wrote a big article on Twitter. In this article, Kohli has mentioned his first captain MS Dhoni. Let us tell you that when Kohli came to the Indian team, Dhoni was the captain of the team at that time. Virat Kohli has expressed his affection for Mahendra Singh Dhoni in his post. Kohli wrote, “I want to give my biggest thanks to Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who reposed faith in me as a captain and made me a better personality.
long post on twitter
Virat Kohli wrote in the Twitter post – 7 years of hard work and tireless efforts to take the Indian team in the right direction. I did my work sincerely and never gave up on it. Everyone has to stop when they come to a stage. Now this time has come for me also as Test captain. There were many ups and downs during this journey, but my efforts and confidence never dwindled. Virat said that I always want to contribute 120% in everything, if I am not able to do that then it will be wrong. I am very clear about this and I cannot be dishonest with my team.
Along with this, Virat also thanked the BCCI officials and his fellow players for their long cooperation. Kohli said, I thank BCCI for giving me the opportunity to lead my country for such a long time and most of all I want to thank my teammates who adopted my vision for this team from day one and Under no circumstances did not give up. You guys made this trip very memorable and beautiful.
Tension with BCCI ahead of Africa tour
Virat was dropped from the ODI captaincy before the Africa tour. Both BCCI and Virat had different statements. BCCI President Sourav Ganguly also did not support Virat Kohli and justified the selectors. The selectors had said in their statement that we had asked Kohli to step down from T20 captaincy, but he did not listen to us and there cannot be two white-ball captains. Virat Kohli looked very disappointed after the defeat in Africa. During the presentation yesterday, Kohli said that there can be no excuse for this defeat.
