Mushtaq says Kohli will retires soon from T20

|HT|

Following India's early exit from the T20 World Cup, there has been a change in guard. With Rohit Sharma replacing Virat Kohli as India's T20I captain and Rahul Dravid coming in as its new coach, the team will usher into a new era. However, former Pakistan spinner Mushtaq Ahmed claims there are issues existing in the current Indian team, which prompted Kohli to step down as the T20I captain. The 33-year-old announced that he will be stepping down as India’s T20I captain following the T20 World Cup, but Mushtaq is confident there is more to the decision than what meets the eye. "When a successful captain says he wants to leave the captaincy, it means all is not well in the dressing room. I see two groups existing in the Indian dressing room right now… the Mumbai and Delhi groups," Mushtaq, who is presently working at the PCB's high-performance centre, said on the Geo News channel."I think Kohli will soon retire from playing T20 internationals for his country although he will continue in the Indian Premier League. I think he has had his fill of this format," Mushtaq said on Geo News channel.
