The Indian cricket team is currently in South Africa amid a captaincy controversy. Team head coach Rahul Dravid has given a very sharp answer when asked a question about this a day before the first Test match. He said that any discussion regarding captaincy is an internal matter of the team. It is not for the media or the public. Dravid was present alone in the press conference, not captain Kohli.

Usually the coach and the captain are present together. The way Dravid used to drop the quickest ball easily during his batting days, he also ducked the question related to captaincy in the same way. Dravid said that who will be the captain of the team, it is the work of the selectors. I will not say anything on whether there should be two different captains in white ball cricket. There is no proper place and time to discuss the captaincy issue. Whatever happens inside the team, I will not make it public under any circumstances.
Virat Kohli had decided to leave the captaincy of the shortest format before the T20 World Cup. After this the selectors made Rohit Sharma the captain in both ODIs and T20s. Virat later said that he wanted to continue with the ODI captaincy, and the selectors informed him about the change just 90 minutes before the Test squad was announced for the series against South Africa. Well, according to us, the attitude of Virat Kohli is wrong. This is what most people believe. The ICC trophy was not lost under Kohli's captaincy, it will be regrettable. Actually, the kind of team India has. We should have been dominant in cricket. But we couldn't do that.
