Turbulence has hit Indian cricket hard in the last three months. Ever since Virat Kohli announced he would be stepping down as T20I captain, coinciding with Rahul Dravid taking over as head coach, the pot has been simmering.
Kohli’s decision to quit Test captaincy immediately after the Test series loss to South Africa has not helped, leaving the team looking a bit vulnerable. With the ODI series against South Africa beginning on Wednesday, the Indian team is in dire need of a leader which could bring in some stability.
