There are reports doing the rounds that Kohli might lose his white-ball captaincy and Rohit Sharma could be asked to lead the limited-overs side if the team fails to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. However, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal rubbished such claims.

BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal on Monday (September 13) rubbished reports suggesting that Team India captain Virat Kohli is likely to step down as skipper of the limited-overs format after the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup to be held in the UAE and Oman in October-November this year. There are reports doing the rounds that Kohli might lose his white-ball captaincy and Rohit Sharma could be asked to lead the limited-overs side if the team fails to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. However, Dhumal rubbished such claims. "This is all rubbish. Nothing (as) such is happening. This is all what you guys (media) are talking about. BCCI has not met or discussed anything on this issue (split captaincy)," Dhumal told IANS. "Virat will remain as the captain (of all formats)."
