Rohit Sharma appointed as captain in odis.

[afan]

It was a natural progression isn't it?

 

There cannot be 2 captains in Limited Overs format, besides this will help reduce Kohlis stress and he can fully focus on Test matches

Welcome this move. Kudos to whoever the hell have done this. Took 2 Worldcups, 1 Champions trophy, and 7 years of failure as RCB captain for BCCI to realise that Kohli can never be a Leader.

Great decision. 

Kohli needs to focus on batting. 

Rohit is a way better LOI captain. 

acceptance ..

ICF seems pretty cool about this change but in Social media , PR bots are going overboard and crying..

Kohli should not even be in the test team let alone the captain,he has lost all his confidence and is a shell of his former self.

He has always had that view reg Kohli the LOI captain.

[sensible-indian]

Next step...

 

Strip him off test captaincy.

 

Make him fight for his test spot.

 

Free mein spot mil raha hai.

[LordPrabhzy]

Good news after a good while- Kohli has lo LoI legacy... he needed to be stripped off the captaincy 2 years ago but hopefully his bog head deflates a bit now

RCB & Kohli fans have gone Bessel. They’ve been trending Ganguly in social media and cursing him for removing Kohli. 

[Texan]

Interestingly, Kohli hasn't congratulated Rohit Sharma on Twitter yet. He needs to show more grace in his exit. 

[asterix]

Very satisfying news item, if it’s true. That’s how BCCI should’ve treated this idiot long time back… We could’ve got more of Rohit’s captaincy and more wins…

Rohit's a fantastic choice as captain. After all he has all the attributes of a great leader and inspiration:

 

i) Very hard working and takes fitness seriously 

ii) Made the most of all his talent and cricketing ability 

iii) Never puts personal score above team needs

iv) Very young and can build a legacy for years to come

v) Exceeds in tough conditions i.e. sharp turn and quick bowling 

 

Good to see BCCI bhabhus are really measured in their selections.

I see the sarcasm there… but what many of you are asking would’ve been a drastic change and both Kohli and Rohit would’ve screwed the new “young” Captain.

 

BCCI just used one powerful but less controversial player to remove another powerful and highly egoistic player.
