Kohli steps down as India test captain

Love him or loathe him you can't deny he's been a great skipper for his nation.https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/59999080

And his record will take some beating, including India's 1st ever series win in Australia.

Done an incredible job with them. Interesting to see how long he will keep playing for India across all formats now after the last 12 months.

He's been superb for India. Old school figure and excellent reader of games.
They've had some good captains over the years.
He's up amongst the best,

A declining force in recent years. Relinquishing captaincy might be very good for him, needs to enjoy cricket again.

Has he not got any English connections, maybe that's why he's stepped down, he's on his way to save us? :D
