TIL Desk Sports/ Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar feels Virat Kohli should remain India skipper across formats as a lot of investment has been made upon him and thus, it will be foolish to remove him.
Following India’s World Cup exit in the semi-finals, voices have been raised about the concept of split captaincy where Kohli is made captain in Test cricket while Rohit Sharma is handed over the leadership in the limited-overs format.
“I think Kohli should not be removed from captaincy because a lot has been invested into him. He has been leading the sides for the past three-four years now,” said Akhtar in a video posted on his Youtube channel.
“All he needs is a better coach and a better selection committee and he will improve. He will be a sensible choice once he gets the required support staff from the BCCI. “Rohit Sharma, no doubt, has led Mumbai Indians well in the IPL. But I think a lot has been invested into Kohli’s captaincy. It will be completely foolish to remove Kohli,” he added.
