Virat Kohli has very little time left to prove himself as a captain. If Virat Kohli is not able to get the trophy for India in any one tournament out of the 2021 T20 World Cup, 2022 T20 World Cup, and 2023 ODI World Cup, then his captaincy can go away. After the 2023 ODI World Cup, the age of Virat Kohli will be 34-35 years old, in such a situation, the Indian team will be looking for a new captain. Let us tell you that there are 4 such strong cricketers, who can become the permanent captain of Team India in place of Virat Kohli.
