BCCI to speak to Virat Kohli about ODI captaincy future: reports

BCCI has been on a constant move ever since India's early exit from the T20 World Cup 2021. Soon after appointing Rohit Sharma as the new T20I skipper, the board is likely to have a conversation with Virat Kohli about the future of his ODI captaincy as well.

Sources in the BCCI told NDTV that the board wants to relieve Kohli of the captaincy burden in limited-overs cricket so that he can focus on his batting and return to his dominant form. Rohit Sharma, who is now India's T20 captain, is expected to take over in the 50-over format too, with KL Rahul as the vice-captain.

The report further added that the changes in Team India's ODI captaincy could be as soon as the bilateral series against South Africa, which begins from January 11, next year.
