Virat Kohli, who had stepped down as the Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper after the 2021 IPL season, said he took that call to give himself some space and manage his workload. Kohli had announced his decision to leave IPL captaincy after saying that T20 World Cup will be his last tournament as India skipper in the shortest format.
Rohit Sharma has been one of the most prolific run-getter in T20 internationals over the years, and currently in the third spot overall. On Thursday, when he walks out to bat in the 1st T20I against Sri Lanka in Lucknow, the Indian captain will be on the cusp of completing a landmark and equalling the mark of Pakistan's star batter and captain Babar Azam.
Rohit Sharma's stint as India's full-time captain got off to the perfect start as India completed a 6-0 sweep across the ODI and T20 series against the West Indies.
Former India skipper Virat Kohli has responded to ex-teammate Yuvraj Singh's letter in which the latter called him a "legendary captain". Taking to Instagram, Kohli posted a heartfelt message for Yuvraj, saying the now retired cricketer "will always be an inspiration". "Yuvi Pa thank you for this wonderful gesture," wrote Kohli on Instagram along with a picture of Yuvraj's letter. "Coming from someone who's seen my career unfold from day 1, it means a lot. Your life and your comeback from cancer was, is and will always be an inspiration for people in all walks of life not just cricket," added Kohli.
Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has compared the leadership styles of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni and he labelled the former as "superhuman". Watson played under Virat at Royal Challengers Bangalore and under Dhoni for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh on Tuesday wrote a heartfelt letter to batter Virat Kohli and said that he has seen the southpaw grow as a cricketer and as a person. In the letter, Yuvraj commended Kohli for his dedication and discipline towards his craft that serves as an inspiration for the future generation. "Virat, I've seen you grow as a cricketer and as a person. From that young boy in the nets who would walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the legends of Indian cricket, you're now a legend yourself leading the way for a new generation. Your discipline in the nets, passion on the field and dedication to the sport inspires every young kid in this country to pick up the bat and dream of putting on the blue jersey one day," wrote Yuvraj in the letter.
India completed a 3-0 T20 series whitewash against the Indies, to go with a similar scoreline in the ODIs, giving Rohit Sharma the best possible start as full-time captain.
