Rohit Sharma on Wednesday was named the new captain of India's ODI side and thus, he replaced Virat Kohli, who had earlier relinquished T20I leadership as well. Kohli would now lead the Test side while the responsibility of handling the limited-overs teams would rest on Sharma. See how netizens reacted to this major development in Indian cricket.

Harsha Bhogle Shares His Take:
However great a player Virat Kohli is, this is the time to reach out to him. It is inevitable he will feel a sense of loss. It is always tricky with two captains when both are playing all formats and it is critical Dravid, Kohli and Rohit are comfortable and have a common vision
