It'll be foolish to remove Virat Kohli as India captain: Shoaib Akhtar

New Delhi, Aug 1: Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar feels Virat Kohli should remain India skipper across formats as a lot of investment has been made upon him and thus, it will be foolish to remove him.

Following India's World Cup exit in the semi-finals, voices have been raised about the concept of split captaincy where Kohli is made captain in Test cricket while Rohit Sharma is handed over the leadership in the limited-overs format.
