Earlier, it was also learned that the BCCI didn’t pressurise Kohli into relinquishing Test captaincy. But as per reports, he was also expected to stay as the skipper for the next two to three years.
After stepping down, Kohli thanked the BCCI for giving him the chance of captaining India at the highest level. He also lauded MS Dhoni for backing him and showing adequate faith in him.
