Virat Kohli shocked the cricketing world by announcing that he will step down as India’s T20I captain after the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021 which will be played in the UAE and Oman from October 17 onwards.
This comes as a huge update given that the BCCI had confirmed a few days ago that Virat Kohli was to captain India in all formats of the game for the foreseeable future.

Kohli mentioned that he will remain available for selection in T20I format as a batsman.
