Former England spinner Monty Panesar says that Kohli should resign as captain if he fails to win the title for India in the upcoming two ICC tournaments.
‘Kohli will have to win at least one title’
Panesar said in an interview to a sports website, “If India does not win the T20 World Cup or ODI World Cup in their hosting, then I think Virat Kohli will have to give up the captaincy.” He is captaining well, but he will have to win at least one of the two World Cups in his home.
Under Rahane’s captaincy, India won the 2–1 Test series in Australia. Panesar said, ‘This is an exciting debate. I think Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma did their job well when they were given the captaincy. The Indian team will host England in February. The first Test match of the series between the two teams will be played from 5 February.
