in all formats.

He has a solid young core of players to grow with him.

Kohli has too much on his plate, but it appears that Rohit Sharma would most likely have been the only other option.

Captain in all three formats, best batsman in the side in all three formats, and carries all the hopes and expectations of the Indian fans on his shoulders. It's only a matter of time before he succumbs to the pressure.

Why would anyone hide their love for Veerat.

I don't miss Hidia games cause ah he.

The best batsman presently in all formats.

Plus Hindia team outstanding at present.

De only time I don't support them
is when dem playing Wurst Hindies.

Lol. I have to give Steve Smith his due in Test cricket though. The man is averaging 60 odd, ungainly or not.

India's newly appointed limited-overs captain Virat Kohli has said having MS Dhoni in the team without the responsibility of leadership will be a "win-win situation" for India and himself. In an interview with the BCCI website the day after he was named captain, Kohli also said he feels "confident" taking charge in the shorter formats given his understanding of them, and is "excited" to build a team for the 2019 World Cup.

"It's a win-win situation for the captain coming in to still have Dhoni for his advice, his inputs and his cricketing brain," he said. "But what I'm most happy about is that he'll be able to play free cricket and express himself as the aggressive MS Dhoni we knew when he first came into the team. As a player, responsibility can take that away from you. I think it's time he enjoys his cricket because he has taken so much burden for the country."

He's scored runs all over, but India should provide his stiffest challenge to date.
