Speaking to Khel Now, Prasad said if Ajinkya Rahane can come back to the team as vice-captain, then Kohli can also become captain, especially if the team management wants to take away the captaincy from Rohit. Kohli is part of India’s Test and ODI squads for their tour of West Indies but has been rested for the T20I series.
“Why not Virat Kohli? When Ajinkya Rahane can come back and become the vice-captain, then why not Virat Kohli? I don’t know what the mindset of Virat is on captaincy. In case selectors are thinking beyond Rohit, I don’t know whether they are thinking but if they are thinking beyond Rohit, then I think Virat can also be an option,” said Prasad.
