Virat Kohli took over the responsibilities of the skipper after MS Dhoni stepped down in 2017 and has since made team India one of the most dominant teams across formats. Virat Kohli has established himself as a skipper, in all the three formats of the game, among one of the all-time greats, however, he is yet to win an ICC Trophy.

However, on Monday, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) treasurer Arun Dhumal rubbished the reports of split captaincy in team India. Arun Dhumal asserted that Virat will continue as the skipper of team India across all three formats and that Rohit will not take over as the white-ball skipper. He said:

“This is all rubbish. Nothing (as) such is happening. This is all what you guys (media) are talking about. BCCI has not met or discussed anything on this issue (split captaincy),” Dhumal told IANS. “Virat will remain as the captain (of all formats),”
