While many netizens were disappointed at the sudden dismissal of captain Kohli, others pointed out that Kohli should have been given some more chances.
Rohit Sharma has been appointed as the captain of India’s ODI team replacing Virat Kohli. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced this decision and it has flooded Twitter with varied reactions from netizens. Rohit Sharma was already serving as the T20 captain since Kohli decided to step down from captaincy after India's T20 World Cup campaign earlier this year. Whatever the world says...
