Virat Kohli, one of the world’s greatest batsmen, announced on Thursday that he will not take charge of Team India in this format after the T20 World Cup. Virat gave this information by tweeting. He wrote that he would quit the captaincy of the shortest format after the T20 World Cup. However, as a batsman, he will remain associated with the team.
Virat has written a long post in English. He has also thanked everyone who supported him in his journey as the captain of the T20 team. At the same time, he has told that he has reached this decision only after discussing it with all the close ones.
