During the toss ahead of India’s final T20 World Cup match against Namibia in Dubai, Kohli said that Rohit Sharma has been “ignoring things for a while” and that Indian cricket is in good hands.

Kohli said, “I am very proud of the way the team has played. Now I feel it is time to take this team forward. Obviously Rohit is here and he is going to keep things going for a while.” Ignoring it.”
“It’s an honor for me, I was given the opportunity and tried to do my best. But it’s also time to carve out some space and move on,” he said.
Kohli had announced his decision to step down from T20 captaincy ahead of the World Cup. He has also stepped down as the captain of his IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore.
