T20 World Cup 2021: WATCH- Virat Kohli calls it an honor to captain India in T20Is; says Rohit has been overlooking things

This was Virat Kohli's 50th T20I match as India captain.

Virat Kohli walked out for the final time as India T20I captain when he went for the coin toss against Namibia in their final Super 12s match in Dubai on November 8, 2021. India has been knocked out of the semi-finals race already.

Kohli won the toss and chose to bowl first with India making one change, bringing in Rahul Chahar in place of Varun Chakravarthy.

During the conversation at the toss, Kohli said he always wanted to do his best as the T20I captain and now it was time for the next lot to take this team forward.

"It's been an honor for me, I was given the opportunity and I tried to do my best. But it's also time to create some space and move forward. I've been immensely proud of how the team has played. Now I think it's time for the next lot to take this team forward. Obviously, Rohit(vice-captain) is here and he's overlooking things for a while now," Kohli said.

India’s hopes of making it into the semis ended after Afghanistan failed to defeat New Zealand on Sunday. Indian team’s losses in their first matches of the Super 12s against Pakistan and New Zealand came to haunt them in the end.
