Since Kohli's exit as India's skipper, the Indian team has suffered defeats in the T20 World Cup (2022) and the ICC World Test Championship final (2023).
India's ICC trophy drought remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in the world of cricket, considering the immense talent within the team. Despite boasting players of the caliber of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and others who are among the best in the world, the team continues to elude the coveted ICC trophy. Even captains as accomplished as Kohli and Rohit have been unable to lead India to the desired success. According to the esteemed Pakistani cricketer Rashid Latif, the absence of an ICC trophy can be attributed to internal issues.
Kohli, a charismatic and influential captain for India, has been unable to secure an ICC title in any of the three formats. Although he voluntarily stepped down from the T20I and Test captaincy, he was removed from the ODI captaincy, with Rohit Sharma taking over leadership duties in all three formats.
"Virat Kohli had a direction and he wanted to win, but he was sacked. The team couldn't perform due to internal issues. They couldn't perform in ICC tournaments because, maybe, the captain didn't get the desired players. Or maybe he got, but they weren't used," Latif said in a video on his YouTube channel.
"Their team is still pretty good, they will get a no.4. The problem begins when the top-3 gets dismissed quickly. If the top-3 plays out the 25-30 overs, they will win easily. Their issue is the top-3 isn't performing how it used to. They could've brought back Shikhar Dhawan, you had made him captain less than a year ago during a tour. You had players, you threw them here and there," he added.
Since Kohli's exit as India's skipper, the Indian team has suffered defeats in the T20 World Cup (2022) and the ICC World Test Championship final (2023) under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. Nevertheless, the charismatic Hitman now stands at a crucial juncture, with the upcoming ODI World Cup presenting him a chance to rectify the team's recent setbacks.
