India have a new ODI captain, with Virat Kohli being sacked as skipper and Rohit Sharma being named as his replacement. Kohli had quit T20 captaincy following the T20 World Cup recently. He was keen to carry on as captain in the one-day and Test format. However, while BCCI has retained Kohli as captain for the Test series, the cricket board confirmed that Rohit would be the one-day and T20 leader henceforth. Under Kohli, India failed to win an ICC trophy. They went down to Pakistan in the 2017 Champions Trophy final and to New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup semi-final.
