In T20 he did okay in the last series he played.

 

Its more a case of where to fit him. SKY looks better option at 3

Good. Now the question arises,does he merit a place in the team as batsman?

Yes, he does

[Vickydev]

Why announce it before the cup though?? 

[Lone Wolf]

If he wins the WT20..  He will sure as hell stay skipper for ODI WC in 2023.  Could be a master stroke.

He is still captain in ODIs so still has chance to lose ODI 2023 world cup as well

[New guy]

Dont know how just stepping down from t20 captain help his batting considering we play so less t20s and half the time he rests. Should have stepped down from ODIs too 

[rkt.india]

Should quit ODI captaincy too. Anyway, we hardly play much t20Is.

Agreed. He can waste valuable overs by rotating strike for 10 overs hoping he can explode in the end overs.

[Sandeep99]

Too late. He should step down NOW and let Rohit captain. He should also quit ODI captaincy while he's at it. Enough of choking and brain dead decisions.

[Lone Wolf]

Grand slam of Choking coming up... 

ODI WC 2019 CT17  WTC final only WT20 was left..  Amazing legacy

[Adamant]

Should have stepped down from odi captaincy too. 

We need Rohit to lead us in 2023 world cup.

Yes. In the next world T20  he won't even be playing T20I let alone captaining. 

[kepler37b]

He is too insecure and emotional to be a leader. Thanks BCCI for handling it this way.

[New guy]

Two points

 

1) We barely play t20s so no idea how his stepping down only from this format helps his batting. Should also step down from ODIs

 

2) if its only t20s i don't see any point in making an aged rohit sharma captain, he might not even be around till next t20 WC. Perfect time to have a young captain

[Adamant]

This means that with Rohit as captain our chances to win t20WC next year are high. 

[neel roy]

So Rohit to captain India in 2022 WT20 in Australia.. makes sense.. in Australia you have to chase 190 Every match with flat pitches.. he needs to rediscover his mojo of chasing..

Next WT20 is next year 2022

[coffee_rules]

Can RCB fire this panauti?

[putrevus]

There is shelf for any captain after that it becomes useless. Kohli is past that shelf life.He needs to regain his form as a batsman and prolong his career.Give up captaincy in all formats.

Kohli is not going to concede an inch when it comes to the chance of leading India in WC'23. BCCI has to take a call here.

Especially when his batting is in the pits and he is making it into the ODI team only because he is the captain.
