3 reasons why Virat Kohli might not be the right captain for India 

There's no denying the fact that Virat Kohli, the batsman, is the backbone of the Indian batting lineup. He is a batsman that every would team dreams to have in their team.

However, same cannot be said about his captaincy. First, the 2-1 loss in South Africa and now the humiliating 4-1 loss against England, things haven't panned out quite well for Kohli away from home. Indian team would definitely lose its potency without Kohli, the batsman, but the same cannot be said of Kohli, the captain.

Here are 3 reasons why Virat Kohli is not the right captain for India:-

#1 Unnecessary team changes

Virat Kohli holds the record of not playing the same eleven in consecutively 38 Test matches. It certainly is not a record Kohli would be proud of. The habit of constantly changing the playing lineup also takes a toll on the players which results in lack of confidence in the players.

Players have to constantly play under the pressure of being axed from the team which limits the players from achieving their full potential.

# Aggressiveness is not always the solution

During the tenure of his captaincy, Virat Kohli has made sure that the Indian team always takes an aggressive approach on the field. This has resulted in some fantastic results at home but on the contrary, the results have not been quite fruitful in foreign lands.

In home conditions, India does have the luxury to dominate the opposition, given the support of the conditions, but in foreign conditions, there are times when team needs to adopt a defensive approach to save Test matches. The approach required to save matches has not been seen for quite a while in Indian team.

# Overconfidence

England v India: Specsavers 4th Test - Day Three

Virat Kohli has claimed many times that Indian team can win anywhere in the world, but that hasn't happened as yet. Team India played only one practice game before the first Test against England and before that cancelled their only practice game in South Africa. Both of the series ended in a loss for India.

The false confidence that Kohli has been displaying has not been working at all. Every player needs some time to adjust to the foreign conditions but Kohli doesn't seem to think that way. Hence, it would be best for India if Ajinkya Rahane, who has a great captaincy record in Tests, or even Cheteshwar Pujara get in at the helm of the team.
