For the first time, the Indian team will have different captains for red-ball and white-ball cricket. While Virat Kohli will still lead the Test and the ODI teams, the T20 team will have a new leader after Thursday’s announcement of him stepping down as captain in the shortest format after the forthcoming World Cup in UAE and Oman.

Indian Test and limited-overs teams were led by MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli from 2014 to 2017 after the former retired from the longest format in the middle of the 2014-15 Australia tour. However, this time, the scope to have a new T20 captain has been created with Kohli’s decision. In all likelihood, the baton will be passed on to his deputy Rohit Sharma.
