Team India's pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is the vice-captain in the ODI series against South Africa, on Monday (January 17) revealed that a day before announcing it officially on Twitter, Virat Kohli had informed the team in a meeting after the Cape Town Test about his decision of leaving the captaincy.

"We have been very close as a team unit. He told us in a meeting that he will be stepping down from the Test captaincy. He informed us of this as a team and we respect his decision and value his leadership a lot.

"We congratulated him as a team for his contribution to the Test team as a leader and wished him all the best. This was the conversation we had with him," said Bumrah in the virtual press conference.
