He also captained very well in the series against Australia and played an important role in his team’s victory. Why is Virat Kohli not the captain of the Test team? Virat is a better batsman than Rohit in Tests. After all, why has a weak player been given the captaincy of the team in his place? Even though Rohit Sharma is a big player and has scored a lot of runs, he still has to prove himself as an opener outside India. So why is he there?
