Meanwhile, former Pakistan spinner Mushtaq Ahmed has claimed that there is something wrong with the Indian team which resulted in the relinquishment of Kohli’s T20 leadership. The 33-year-old had already announced that he would step down after the T20 World Cup, but the former Pakistan cricketer believes that something else is going on behind the scenes.
“When a successful captain says that he wants to step down, it means that all is not well in the dressing room. Mushtaq said on Geo News channel, I am seeing two groups in the Indian dressing room right now… Mumbai and Delhi group.
The former spinner, who represented Pakistan in 52 Tests and 144 ODIs, further made a strong statement, saying that Kohli will soon ‘retire’ from T20Is but will continue to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
“I think Kohli will soon retire from playing T20 Internationals for his country, although he will remain in the Indian Premier League. I think he filled out this format.
“I think India flopped in the World Cup because of the IPL. I think their players were tired and exhausted after being in a bio-secure bubble for so long before the World Cup,” Mushtaq said.
Before Mushtaq, several former cricketers had blamed the IPL for India’s unsuccessful campaign in the T20 World Cup 2021. The Men in Blue were considered the favorites at the start of the tournament after beating Australia and England in warm-up games.
