Kiran More, the former chief selector of BCCI, believes Virat Kohli can make way for Rohit Sharma to lead India’s limited-over team in near future. Currently, Kohli is successfully captaining India in all three formats of the game.

Rohit Sharma is Kohli’s deputy in the One-Day Internationals as well as T20Is and leads the team whenever Kohli is absent. On the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane is vice-captain of the Test side and led India to a historic Test series win in Australia earlier this year.

Speaking to India TV, More said Rohit can get his shot at captaincy in near future. “I think the vision of the board drives these things. I believe Rohit Sharma will get a chance soon. Virat Kohli is a shrewd captain who played under MS Dhoni. How long he wants to captain the ODIs and T20s, he will also think. You will learn a lot more about these decisions after the England tour. “

He further said split captaincy can work in India and Kohli may let Rohit lead the team in white-ball cricket.

“It [Split captaincy] can work in India. What the senior players think about the Indian team’s future is very important. With Virat Kohli, captaining three teams isn’t that easy plus he has to perform as well. And I give him the credit for it because performing in every format while captaining and winning… but, I think there will be a time when Virat Kohli will say ‘Now it’s enough, let Rohit lead the side’,” he added.
