Virat Kohli seems to be facing one problem after another ever since the start of the T20 World Cup. As if the trolls following India's dismal show in the tournament so far were not enough, the Indian captain is under a lot of pressure with respect to the team's performance in the ongoing cricket matches.

The latest we hear is that Virat Kohli could lose his ODI captaincy should India exit early from the T20 World Cup tournament this season.

The last few days probably have been the hardest days for Indian cricketer Virat Kohli as captain. Even though India scored a thumping victory against two strong T20 World Cup teams like England and Australia in the practice matches, the team has failed to live up to fans' expectations in the matches played so far. The run rate has been far from satisfactory in the two T20 World Cup matches India played against Pakistan and New Zealand. Team India suffered humiliating defeats at the hands of both the teams in the tournament taking place in UAE.

On the other hand, Virat Kohli has come in for heavy criticism for his captaincy. Now, the buzz in sports circles is that if India has an early exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli is likely to lose his ODI captaincy. It is being said that BCCI will likely hold a discussion with Kohli over this. It is being said that BCCI is considering the option of appointing different captains for different formats of the game.
