TIL Desk Sports/ Virat Kohli, who had stepped down as the Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper after the 2021 IPL season, said he took that call to give himself some space and manage his workload.
Kohli had announced his decision to leave IPL captaincy after saying that T20 World Cup will be his last tournament as India skipper in the shortest format. He was later removed as ODI captain before he quit the leadership role in five-day format.
“I’m not someone who holds onto things more than I should. Even if I know I can do a lot more, if I’m not going to enjoy the process, I’m not going to do it,” Kohli, one of the modern day greats, said on “The RCB Podcast” about dropping the captain’s armband.
The former RCB and India skipper asserted that it is very difficult for people to understand what a cricketer thinks while taking such decisions. “Because it’s very difficult for people to understand your decisions unless they are in your situation. From the outside, people have their own expectations Oh! How did that happen? We are so shocked’,” added Kohli, who is on the verge of playing his 100th Test.
