Ravi Shastri all but confirms Virat Kohli wanted to be India's stop-gap Test captain before announcing retirement
Among all of Virat Kohli's 'let go' decisions in the last four years, his call to step down as India's Test captain in the early part of 2022 remains the toughest pill to swallow. Some may argue that his Test retirement announcement last month was bigger but one kind of saw it coming after the legendary cricketer went through a prolonged lean patch, which coincided with India's poor outings in their last two Test series against New Zealand (home) and Australia (away). The real bolt from the blue was when Kohli quit as India's Test captain after the 1-2 defeat in South Africa. That trumped Kohli's decision to announce he would quit as India's T20I captain after the World Cup, barely a month before the start of the tournament, purely because of India's dominance under Kohli in red-ball cricket. One always thought there was unfinished business. The reports of Kohli wanting to get back as India Test captain after a poor show in Australia earlier this year gave more wind to it. Now, former India head coach Ravi Shastri all but confirmed Kohli's desires of getting the red-ball captaincy back, going to the extent of stating that if it was in his hands, he would have definitely given Kohli the opportunity to lead again. According to multiple reports, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee did have a discussion after Kohli expressed his desires to become a stop-gap captain but they decided against it as they wanted to appoint a long-term captain and hence appointed Shubman Gill for the role. "If I had anything to do with it, I would have made him captain, straightaway after Australia," Shastri said in a video shared by SonyLiv on social media. Kohli called time on his Test career last month, finishing with 123 matches, 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, including 30 centuries. Kohli's decision came just days before the Indian squad for the five-Test series against England was to be announced. "Virat has announced his retirement from Test matches, which is sad, you know, because he's a great player. A great player. It's only when you go that people truly realise how big a player you were. Stats don't do justice — it's about the way he carried himself, especially as an ambassador for Test match cricket, particularly overseas. The way he played at Lord's, and how his team turned things around — it was unreal. And I'm glad I was a part of it," Shastri said. 'I feel sad that he's gone the way he has — suddenly. I think it could have been handled better, maybe with more communication,' he added. During India's tour of Australia earlier this year, there were reports about a cricketer trying to be 'Mr Fix-it' after India lost a couple of Test matches despite winning the first Test. The Indian Express report didn't name any cricketer but added that it was a senior member of the team who posed as an interim captain, trying to bring the team back on track. This was after Rohit Sharma had decided to drop himself from the playing XI for the last Test.

The two-time Olympic medalist was beaten by Chinese and Korean shooters to the podium. read more India's shooting star Manu Bhaker had a tough day at the ISSF World Cup in Munich as she fell short of winning a medal in the women's 25m pistol event. Despite reaching the final, the two-time Olympic bronze medallist couldn't make it to the podium and finished sixth. Bhaker misses podium despite strong qualification round Bhaker had a strong qualification round, scoring 290 in the 'precision' and a 298 in the 'rapid fire' stage, giving her a total of 588 and placing her fifth going into the final. However, the medal round didn't go her way as she was eliminated in the third stage with just 20 points. China's Sun Yujie won the gold medal with a final score of 38. South Korea's Oh Yejin took silver with 36 points, and her compatriot Yang Jiin claimed bronze medal with 32 points. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It wasn't just Bhaker who missed out. In the men's 50m rifle 3-position event, seasoned shooter Chain Singh also made it to the final but could not bring home a medal. He had a good qualification round, where he scored a total of 592, placing him sixth. However, Chain Singh couldn't keep up with the pressure in the finals and was the second shooter to be eliminated, finishing in seventh place. Norway's Jon-Hermann Hegg won gold with 464.1 points, Ilia Marsov took silver with 462, and Jiri Privratsky from the Czech Republic grabbed bronze with 452. India eye redemption in upcoming events On Thursday, Olympians Arjun Babuta and Sandeep Singh will be up against Paris Games gold medallist Sheng Lihao when the men's 10m air pistol event begins. Babuta has made it to four consecutive finals since the Paris Olympics last year where he finished fourth, and the Indian's rivalry against Sheng will be keenly followed. The Chinese started the 2025 season with a gold at the Lima World Cup, where Babuta finished just 0.1 point behind to settle for silver. Sandeep Singh, who won the 10m air pistol mixed team bronze with Bhaker at the Paris Games, has also made his way back into the team. In women's 50m rifle 3-Position, all three Indians are in good form, with Sift Kaur Samra winning gold in the World Cup in Argentina, while Shriyanka Sadangi made it to the finals in the World Cup in Lima. The third Indian, Ashi Chouksey, too shot well in Lima but missed the cut by a close margin. (With agency inputs)
