Kohli removed as India ODI captain

Virat Kohli has been removed as India's one-day international captain, says Indian cricket board (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly. Kohli, 33, was replaced by Twenty20 captain Rohit Sharma, 34, on Wednesday (Dec 8).

Rohit took over as T20 skipper last month after Kohli stepped down following the World Cup.

Kohli first led India in an ODI in 2013, before taking over as limited-overs captain, full time from MS Dhoni, in January 2017.

He won 65 of his 95 ODIs in charge and led India to the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup, where they lost to New Zealand.

Kohli remains Test captain, with Rohit taking over from Ajinkya Rahane as vice-captain.

India will play three Tests and three ODIs in South Africa over the winter, with the first Test starting on Dec 26 in Centurion.
