Virat Kohli to replace Dhoni as captain?

Virat Kohli And Dhoni


After Sunil Gavaskar, it’s the turn of another former India skipper to call for captain MS Dhoni’s head. Controversial former spinner Bishan Singh Bedi demanded the sacking of Dhoni, saying he is too defensive as a captain. Apart from Gavaskar, several former cricketers including former chairman of selectors Kris Srikkanth, Atul Wassan and Abbas Ali Baig wanted a change in Test captaincy with Virat Kohli's name being suggested as a possible replacement.

Bedi has said that “He was never a Test skipper. He is far too negative, especially while setting fields. His success had a lot to do with providence”. Bedi further added that it is right time to throw the challenge of leadership to promising cricketer Virat Kohli.  Bedi also criticized Indian spinners, saying that they looked more of shorter versions’ bowlers. "They look more like four-over bowlers.
