Virat Kohli's Future uncertain as 1983 World Cup Winner Urges Clear Succession Policy

New Delhi, Dec 31 (ANI/PTI): As the world gears up to bid farewell to the year 2024, the cricketing community is abuzz with speculation over Indian captain Virat Kohli's future. A veteran of the sport has weighed in on the debate, calling for a clear succession policy to prevent any confusion over who will lead the team after Kohli retirement.

Sunil Gavashelkar, the 1983 ICC Cricket World Cup-winning captain, expressed his thoughts on the need for clarity surrounding the captaincy. Speaking exclusively with ANI/PTI, he emphasized that having a well-defined plan will enable Team India to move forward effectively without any uncertainty.

Gavaskar's comments come at a time when intense debate has been raging over Kohli's leadership and future plans. While the cricketer himself has always maintained that it is not his decision to take, and that a group of selectors would be involved in determining who takes over from him.

Kohli has played five Test matches for India since becoming captain, but he has also shown immense willingness to step aside if necessary.

The issue of succession policy has been much talked about within the cricketing circles and many cricketers think it’s about time that BCCI gave some clarity on this.

BCCI had earlier announced plans to reform the selectors committee to ensure greater transparency in team selection process, which could be a vital step towards resolving the uncertainty surrounding Kohli's fate.
