Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir feels that Virat Kohli might become an even more dangerous batter in limited overs cricket after being relieved of ODI captaincy duties.

Kohli, 33, hasn’t been in the best of form with the bat over the last two years. He last hit a hundred in 2019. Gambhir said that India will see the best of Kohli whether he is captain or not. “Same as Rohit Sharma’s role in red-ball cricket, it’s just that captaincy is not there. It might just free Virat Kohli up much more. He might just become more dangerous in white-ball cricket with the pressure of captaincy not being there on his shoulders,” Gambhir said. “I am sure he is going to make India proud, he is going to keep getting runs in white-ball cricket and red-ball cricket. At the same time, there will be two different guys probably giving their own thoughts, giving their own vision for the team.”
