Virat Kohli has stepped down as the Test captain of India with immediate effect, he confirmed on Saturday.
Kohli’s decision comes a day after India fell short in their quest to clinch their first-ever series in South Africa. Despite winning the opening Test, India conceded the series 2-1.
The 33-year-old, who conveyed his decision via social media, had recently stepped down as India’s T20I skipper and was subsequently removed as the ODI captain ahead of the South Africa tour.
