Earlier this morning, rumours of Rohit Sharma taking over the Indian Men’s Cricket Team’s captaincy in the limited-overs formats after the T20 World Cup went viral. The rumours suggested that Virat Kohli wanted to focus on his batting and Test captaincy.
As you can imagine, factions were made with immediate effect. Fans of Sharma and Kohli both went berserk without a single thought if even the news was real.

“I don’t believe in split captaincy. For the team there has to be only one leader…Split captaincy doesn’t work in India.
I think only one leader leading the team in all formats is crucial.

Now, these were primarily Rohit Sharma fans. When BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal rubbished the rumours, it was time for Virat Kohli fans to rise, and the opposite of shine.
It was a temporary happiness for some Other fanbase. #captaincy pic.twitter.com/Gn9Db0e9nv

It has somehow become commonplace for cricket fans in this country to follow this cult of personality without understanding that both the players are legends and their success means success for Indian cricket. So just, watch the game and chill out.
