Is it also not a result of his own personality?

Politics is not new to the Indian cricket dressing room or the BCCI, but Virat also needs to ponder why this has happened for the first time in such public glare in so many years. Virat employed a scorched earth policy, that ultimately will not age well. What goes around comes around.Д«ut the moment things didnвЂ™t go his way, he did not care who he burns through his response. What he has done has come back to bite him. And second, he clearly did not emerge as a leader of men.Д®ven his Test captaincy is on notice now.

Many players under him played each match like it was their last. He has also not helped matters with the way he has handled senior players-and there are many who can legitimately say they were not treated well by him. Virat was hardly in control of his dressing room since his absence from the Australia tour 2020-2021 that the Indian team won in adverse conditions under a makeshift captain. Number of wins and runs alone donвЂ™t make you a good captain. Instead, several careers either came to a stop or were stuck in limbo under him. Unfortunately, speaking out the way he did in the pre-departure press conference, Virat has proved those right who felt he keeps his persona above the game.ДЄs a captain, Virat cannot boast of even half the number of careers that have taken off because of his support as skipper as his predecessors M.S. If he was not treated right, he has done the same to others, but nobody put his reputation at stake. For Virat, to act out the moment one thing doesnвЂ™t go well according to him is myopic and unpardonable, no matter who you are. Virat has had his way for many years, with many fearing his influence was getting bigger than the interests of the team, and bigger than the sport itself, yet nobody ever badmouthed him in public.Д®veryone accorded him great respect. Yet he came out and said he told selectors that the call is theirs but still acted disgruntled.ДЄnd to top it all, to contradict Sourav Ganguly and the BCCI in public is one of the worst ways to handle the situation. Yet he came out and said that he was informed by selectors but also that he was not spoken to. Yet he declared in his T20I captaincy decision statement that he will continue as captain in ODIs and Tests. Virat should have seen the writing on the wall that with a new coach and his decision to step down from T20I captaincy, he will have to make way as the ODI captain too. In his enthusiasm to set the record straight, Virat probably forgot he is still an Indian team captain. Now in a tough spot himself, he needed to look at the bigger picture and handle matters tactfully. Virat controlled what he could in his way, much to the chagrin of many. There was a sense emerging that he did.Д®verything doesnвЂ™t go your way, or is not handled according to your liking, but the sport is still bigger than you. Also, he canвЂ™t take what he gets for granted. Virat on many occasions has not fit into this parameter. He is a national icon and needs to behave like one. He doesnвЂ™t come across as a statesman and hasnвЂ™t for many years, and that has nothing to do with his aggression.

While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not covered itself in glory in handling the change of Indian cricket teamвЂ™s ODI captaincy-a decision no one questions - Virat Kohli on his part has no right to complain.ДЇor a captain who ran the dressing room his way for many years unchallenged, despite many decisions on and off the pitch being debatable, to come out and throw entire Indian cricket in a disarray just because one decision didnвЂ™t go his way or in his manner, speaks not very highly of his maturity.
