On 15 January 2022, Virat Kohli shook the cricketing world with his announcement regarding stepping down as India’s Test captain. Virat Kohli had a sensational run as a captain of the Indian Test team and he will go down as one of the best Test captains of all time. He led India in 68 games and won 40, lost 17 and 11 matches ended in a draw. He is the most successful Indian Test captain in terms of win percentage and total wins.

During a recent Instagram live session, a fan had asked the Australian Test vice-captain Smith who should be India’s next Test captain after Kohli has quit the captaincy in the longest format of the game to which he responded that India’s white-ball captain Rohit and his deputy Rahul are two favourites.

“Firstly, congratulations to Virat who’s led the Indian team superbly well for the last six or seven years. He has done a terrific job and looking forward I’d say probably Rohit (Sharma) or KL (Rahul) are the two favourites”, said Smith during the session which he also posted as his Insta story.
