Follow us on INDIA Ahmedabad T20 debacle shows need for fresh thinking and new captain ahead of October’s World Cup in India March 13, 2021, 9:29 PM IST A journalist who has lived all over India and is now based in Bangalore That the Royal Challengers Bangalore have never won an IPL indicates that Virat Kohli is not the best captain in the shortest format of the game. Again, with the resumption of full-time cricket, there will be a surge of activity throughout the year for Indian players. The ongoing England tour of India will end on March 28 and be followed by 52 days of IPL (from April 9 to May 30), which will be followed by the World Test Championship (from June 18 to June 22), which will be followed by the Indian tour of England (a five-Test series beginning on August 4 and ending on September 14), which will be followed by the T20 World Cup in India (from October 18 to November 15). So having Virat Kohli captain across all formats of the game for the next eight months is likely to prove counter-productive in terms of the pressure on the skipper, especially during an ongoing pandemic.
