Kohli is the Indian captain who has won 65 matches out of 95 matches since he took over as the ODI captain of the Indian team in 2017. Kohli is the highest run scorer in the T20 World Cup with a total of 1141 runs at an average of 81.50. Team India has played 17 Twenty Over series under Kohli’s captaincy and lost only two. Kohli has played a total of 499 international matches and has amassed 25,461 runs with 75 centuries and an average of 53.48. Like this, his achievements can be stacked. Kohli has been supportive of his teammates both on and off the field. A case in point is his support for Mohammed Shami after the 20-over World Cup defeat.
Despite performing so well in batting and captaincy, it is seen as a big shortcoming not to win any of the four such as 2017 Champions Trophy, 2019 ODI World Cup, 2021 Twenty Over World Cup and 2021 World Test Championship. Apart from that, Kohli’s form continued to decline from 2020, Kohli who scored 7 hundreds in 2019 only scored only two hundreds in 2020, 2021 and 2022. His average and ranking took a huge dip. In addition, Kohli announced that he will step down from the twenty-over captaincy in 2021. In December, BCCI also removed Virat Kohli from the ODI captaincy, saying white-ball cricket should not have two captains. Kohli also announced that he will step down as Test captain after the next South Africa series. The reason for all this was the rift between him and the BCCI. This period turned out to be the worst period in Kohli’s career.
