BCCI who stabbed kohli in the back..!?
The bcci officials said that there can be only one captain for the ODI team, t20 team, and Test team only when virat kohli is stripped of the captaincy. Big cricket teams like england and australia have a practice of appointing two or three captains for all three teams. Appointing separate captains for each team is called "split captaincy".
The indian team does not have this practice. However, in certain series, there is a practice of appointing another captain only if the team captain retires from the matches. bcci has reportedly pressured virat kohli to step down as captain after the 2021 t20 world cup debacle. At that time, many people said that virat kohli could remain as the captain of the Test team only, and rohit sharma could be appointed as the captain of the ODI team and the t20 team, but the bcci denied it.
The split captaincy system will not work in the indian team. rohit sharma himself will be the captain of all three teams. But now, after the 2023 world cup series, there has been a lot of confusion in the indian team and KL rahul has been appointed as the captain for the ODI team, suryakumar yadav for the t20 team, and rohit sharma for the Test team. bcci took this decision because rohit sharma wanted to retire.
At this stage, Virat Kohli's fans are criticizing this. When many people said that virat kohli could be the captain of the Test team on that day, the bcci said that split captaincy is not compatible, and now they have questioned why they are appointing three captains for the three teams.
