After the defeat of WTC, questions raised on Virat’s captaincy, Rohit can become captain
After the defeat of Team India in the WTC final, now questions are being raised on the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Kohli has not been able to win any ICC trophy till now. That is why, now once again there is talk of making Rohit Sharma the captain.
Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India has lost in the ICC tournament for the third time. In 2017 Champions Trophy final against Pakistan was lost. After that New Zealand was defeated in the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup. Now Kane Williamson’s team defeated India in the final of the World Test Championship. Former India wicket-keeper batsman and former selector Kiran More had said on a few days that the time has come to make Rohit Sharma the captain of the team.
Kiran More had predicted about the captaincy of Virat Kohli during an interview. He had said, Rohit Sharma can become the captain soon. Virat Kohli is a shrewd captain and he played a lot under Dhoni. However, now he will also think about how long he wants to captain the ODI and T20 team. Kiran More said that everyone will know more about these decisions after the tour of England.
After the defeat in the WTC final, fans have now told BCCI on Twitter that there is a need to bring a new coach and a new captain. They are demanding Rohit Sharma as the captain and Rahul Dravid as the coach.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
