“A captain is only as good as his team. When Virat Kohli captains India, he is able to deliver the results. Win matches: ODI, T20I tests. But when he captains RCB, his team can’t perform ”. Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
“It is very important for the captain to have a good team. So I think management shouldn’t try to think about changing their captain and rather think about how they can improve this team. Who should be added to the team to make sure their performance improves? “ added.
RCB’s 2020 IPL came to a close after they suffered a six-field loss at the hands of SunRisers Hyderabad on Friday.
Later, while speaking with ESPNcricinfo, Gambhir was asked if he would change the captaincy, to which he replied: “100 percent, because the problem is one of accountability. Eight years after the tournament (no trophy), eight years is a long time. Tell me any other captain … forget about the captain, tell me any other player who had turned eight and had not won the title and would have continued with him. So it has to be responsibility. A captain must take responsibility. “
“It’s not just about one year, it’s not just about this. I have nothing against Virat Kohli, but at some point, he needs to raise his hand and say, ‘Yes, I am responsible. I am responsible, ‘”he added.
