Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh [http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/36084.html] has suggested that Rohit Sharma [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rohit-sharma/] can be an option for T20 captain. This is if Virat Kohli [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/virat-kohli/] feels “overloaded” when leading India in all three formats. Rohit Sharma is the vice-captain of India in limited-overs. Moreover, he has been the most successful captain in the Indian Premier League, leading the Mumbai Indians to their fourth title win earlier this year. Yuvraj Singh said that it won’t be a bad idea for India to try split captaincy to reduce the workload of Virat Kohli. “Earlier there used to be just two formats — ODI and Tests, so it was perfect to have one captain. Now there are three formats and if Virat is feeling overloaded, maybe they should try somebody else for the T20 format. Rohit has been a very successful captain,” Yuvraj Singh recently told ‘Aaj Tak’ news channel. Rohit Sharma [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Rohit-Sharma-ind-v-aus-_-AP-380_opt.jpg]Rohit Sharma “I don’t really know. They (team management) have to decide how much workload Virat can take. Do they need to try somebody else for T20? It completely depends on how they want to go for the future. Virat has been the best batsman. How to manage his workload? It is completely team management’s call,” he added. The all-rounder further took a dig at the team management for deciding the crucial No. 4 position which went wrong in the ICC World Cup [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-schedule/] earlier this year. He said that the team management needs to identify the talent and back him. The no.4 spot is one of the most controversial places. This is because there are a couple of batsmen, who have been tested but no one stayed for a long time. Virat Kohli [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/qj81vspo_virat-kohli-afp_625x300_15_July_19.jpg]Virat Kohli “The no.4 batsman has to be technically strong. Vijay Shankar didn’t have that experience, Rishabh Pant didn’t have the experience. Dinesh Karthik was an experienced guy who was sitting out and suddenly went to bat in the semifinal,” he added. He again commented that the cricketer needs a bit of security of their place in the squad to excel. “I really didn’t understand what the think-tank was doing. If you had to get the best out of a player you have to secure him. A player can never play well if he is insecure. That was the big reason why India didn’t win the World Cup,” the all-rounder concluded. 

Yuvraj Singh has suggested that Rohit Sharma can be an option for T20 captain if
Virat Kohli feels "overloaded" by leading India in all three formats.

Profile

Virat Kohli has had an impressive career since making his debut in the Indian team in 2008. He first broke into the national side in ODIs, soon followed by a 2010 debut in T20s and a Test debut in 2011.

Since then, his rise has been meteoric and he eventually took the mantle of India captain from MS Dhoni. ODI captaincy was up first in 2013, followed by Test captaincy when MS Dhoni announced his retirement in 2014. Finally, Virat Kohli was appointed T20 skipper in 2017.

IPL Career

Virat Kohli made his IPL debut back in 2008 itself for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, he has remained in the team all these years.

After an average debut season, his form picked up in subsequent years. For two straight seasons, he was in the top 3 of highest run-scorers in IPL.

In 2011, he was promoted to vice captain and even took over as skipper when regular, Daniel Vettori was injured. When the latter retired in 2013, Kohli took the mantle of RCB captain, and has led the side ever since.

Now, for IPL 2019, Virat Kohli heads into the new season as the captain once again.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to expectations, there is a lot of pressure on the team. For years, they have always been so close and yet so far. On paper, RCB have had the strongest batting line-up of all other teams, yet, they have failed to deliver time and again.

Between 2011 and 2017, RCB boasted of the deadliest batting line-up. To be precise, joining Virat Kohli was South Africa's AB de Villiers and West Indian giant, Chris Gayle.

Inspite of this, and Gayle smashing a few centuries here and there, RCB almost always bottled the job.

So, will the 2019 season be any different? Can captain Virat Kohli inspire his men to rally forth into victory? Or will Virat Kohli and the RCB squad succumb to defeat yet again, as was the case all these years?
