Virat on Thursday evening announced on social media that he would be stepping down from the T20 captaincy after the T20 World Cup. The news did not come as a surprise amid media reports creating buzz for the past few days.
He shared that the decision was prompted by him understanding the 'immense workload' as he played all the three formats and 'captaining regularly for last five to six years'. He added that he felt the need to give himself the space to be 'fully ready' to lead India in Test and ODI formats.
Virat wrote that he had given his 'everything to the team' during his stint as a T20 captain, and how would seek to do that for the team purely as a batsman from now on.
The Delhi-born cricketer is currently in the UAE to lead the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second leg of the Indian Premier League, which had been deferred in May due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He will then lead India in the T20 tournament scheduled from October 17 to November 14. Virat, who is a successful Test captain for India, recently led India to a 2-1 win lead against England in England, with the last Test called off due to the rise in COVID-19 cases in the Indian camp
