More said Kohli has played under MS Dhoni and the Indian captain wants to stay in the position for a while with his phone.
“I think the board’s vision drives these things. I believe Rohit Sharma will get a chance soon. Virat Kohli is a brilliant captain who played under MS Dhoni. As long as he wants to be the captain of the ODIs and T20s, he will think again. You will learn a lot about these decisions after a trip to England, ”Kiran More told India TV on Wednesday.
“It (Split captaincy) should work in India. What the senior players think about the Indian team’s future is very important. With Virat Kohli, captaining three teams isn’t that easy plus he has to perform as well. And I give him the credit for it because performing in every format while captaining and winning… but, I think there will be a time when Virat Kohli will say ‘Now it’s enough, let Rohit lead the side’,” added More.
