Virat probably won't. His mind is saying 'I'm never captaining again': England great on Kohli leading India in Edgbaston
Hindustan TimesRohit Sharma's untimely Covid-19 infection has put the Indian cricket team in a fix. The uncertainty over Rohit's participation for the series-deciding Edgbaston Test starting July 1 has affected the team in more than one way as the star batter's unavailability will leave the team management with the task to find a new opener as Shubman Gill's partner, and more importantly, decide on a captain. After all, it was under Kohli that India played spirited cricket and took a 2-1 lead in the series with wins at Lord's and Oval. Among those who want Kohli to captain is England all-rounder Moeen Ali, as he feels it will only be fitting to see Kohli – who started it last year – take up the role in Rohit's absence. He feels Kohli's mind could be relaxed knowing he is only focussing on his batting and no longer dividing his attention towards the challenging job of captaining India again.
