Is the tide slowly (but surely) turning for Virat?

His numbers in ODI since last year, now I know what some of the responses will be but I do see that the captaincy is starting to affect him, especially in ODI :om:

He has a career avg close to 60 btw so even if the dip is marginal, you'll find that the last 6 months have been even worse!

Nope, expectations are sky high when it comes to him. Even a small dip might look exaggerated, hope he is saving it up for the tests and T20 WC this year. ODIs are meaningless the next 2 years. 

 

Having said that his WC performance was distinctly mediocre, don't even need to look at his stats, he wasn't himself in the event.

Ian Chappell once said every captain has a shelf-life of around 5 years. Kohli has reached that saturation point - it will be best for him if he realizes this and relinquishes LOI captaincy to Rohit. Then he can focus on tests and his own game.

 

But his ego and PR team will not allow this to happen.

Kohli took over odi captaincy in 2017.

but he took over test captaincy in 2014. In this day and age with amount of cricket being played + IPL, it will take a toll mentally.

So if at all according to your theory , he needs to quit test captaincy. What is need for him to quit odi captaincy?
