    "editor1": "<p>Jasprit Bumrah, India&#39;s vice-captain in the ODI series against South Africa, on Monday revealed that Virat Kohli had informed the team in a meeting after the Cape Town Test about his decision of leaving the captaincy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We have been very close as a team unit. He told us in a meeting that he will be stepping down from the Test captaincy. He informed us of this as a team and we respect his decision and value his leadership a lot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We congratulated him as a team for his contribution to the Test team as a leader and wished him all the best. This was the conversation we had with him,&quot; said Bumrah in the virtual press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bumrah further said that former skipper Kohli will always be a leader in the group.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>His comments come after Kohli announced on Saturday that he will step down from the Test captaincy with immediate effect. The upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa, starting from Wednesday in Paarl, will be his first white-ball series as a player.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jasprit Bumrah opened up about Virat Kohli&#39;s decision to step down from Test captaincy!<br>.<br>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Cricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Cricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SAvIND?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SAvIND<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IndianCricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IndianCricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TeamIndia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TeamIndia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JaspritBumrah?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#JaspritBumrah<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ViratKohli?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ViratKohli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EH9S77zEcK\">pic.twitter.com\/EH9S77zEcK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1483038685155463169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 17, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"  https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/australia-vs-england-ashes\">Ashes 2021-22 - England vs Australia Schedule and Squads<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;See, I am not here to give a judgement about his decision. But yes, it&#39;s a personal decision and we respect his decision. He knows how his body is reacting and what frame of mind he is in. We respect that and it&#39;s been an immense pleasure to play under his leadership as I made my Test debut. As I have spoken before, he brings a lot of energy to the side. He will always be a leader in the group and his contribution has been immense and will be immense going further as well,&quot; added Bumrah.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
