Former Australian skipper, Tom Moody said it’s not easy to lead a team like India in all 3 formats as it possesses a different pressure altogether. He said that India should consider split captaincy as it will help in the Virat Kohli’s longevity in international cricket. Tom Moody believes that if the Indian fans will lose crucial 2-3 years of ‘superstar’ Kohli’s career as he has been dealing with a lot of pressure, with billions following Indian cricket over the years.

Talking about the same during a chat with Cricbuzz, Moody said, “On the [split] captaincy, it really depends. With India’s example, which is probably the most high profile example, the only reason I would consider split captaincy there is purely to preserve the longevity of Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli is a superstar, we all know that. And he is an absolute delight to watch, to compete, as a captain and as a batsman.”

The BCCI president Sourav Ganguly had completely neglected the idea of split captaincy last year but there are calls from the cricket fraternity to help share Kohli’s workload.

Former Indian opener, Aakash Chopra recently said Rohit Sharma can be a good captaincy in limited-overs if India can be expected to consider split captaincy in the near future.

Chopra explained, “Rohit is a very good captain. India is blessed. If India feels 6 months or 1 and half years down the line that we need a change of guard… I don’t think Kohli’s performance will get affected. He has reached that level wherein he won’t come down from there. For the next 10-12 months I think it will be Kohli. But after that if you are looking for a change of guard… I wish India wins an ICC event soon because after 2013 we haven’t won anything.”
