Very Tough, It Did Get Too Much In The End: Kohli's Reflects On Captaincy Pressure
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Virat Kohli said that he moved away from the leadership role after more than eight years as it was getting "really tough" for him to meet the demands of it.
Kohli first led the U-19 Indian team to the U19 World Cup in 2008 and then went on to take up the leadership role for his franchise as well as India. The talismanic batter did exceptionally well in the leadership role for India but failed to lift the title for RCB.
“At one point, it did become tough for me because there was just too much happening in my career. I was captaining India for a period of 7-8 years. I captained RCB for 9 years. There were expectations on me from a batting perspective in every game that I played. I didn't have this sense that the attention was off me," Kohli said on RCB Podcast – Mindset of a Champion.
