Kohli averages 29 in last 10 tests

[Texan]

As a batsman, I don't think he deserves to be dropped even if his scores in his next 5 Tests are below par. He has the ability to bounce back. As a captain though, I think we should start looking beyond him. Every captain has a shelf life and beyond that, they either become too egoistic about their choices and refuse to see any counter views or they just become very stale. Virat is at the point where he will do well to focus on his batting and leave the captaincy to a more competent person.

But money is where captaincy is. Will he drop himself?
