Dinesh Karthik Recalls What MS Dhoni "Clearly" Said About Split Captaincy In India
With less than a week to go for the India vs West Indies ODI series which will also mark the beginning of Rohit Sharma's journey as a full-time captain in limited-overs cricket, there is still no clarity on who will take over India's Test mantle after Virat Kohli decided to step down as skipper last month. Sharing his thoughts on the subject, veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik said he can't comment on the reasons behind Kohli's unexpected decision to quit as Test captain but he recalled MS Dhoni “clearly saying” it is “hard” to have split captaincy in Indian cricket. "I remember MS Dhoni saying very clearly that India as a cricketing nation is very hard to have split captaincy,” Karthik told news agency ANI.
