Moody Calls Kohli’s White-Ball Captaincy a ‘Disappointment’ as Panel Revives Debate

A JioHotstar roundtable reexamines his limited-overs tenure through expectations versus an ICC title drought.

Overview

  • Tom Moody said India’s white-ball era under Virat Kohli was one of high expectation that ended in disappointment.
  • Harbhajan Singh argued that the quality of players available meant India could have won three or four ICC trophies.
  • Sanjay Manjrekar criticized selection decisions in the Kohli–Ravi Shastri period, calling team selection his biggest concern.
  • AB de Villiers countered that judging captains solely on World Cup wins is unfair and too narrow a measure of leadership.
  • Under Kohli, India went 65–27 in 95 ODIs and 30–16 in 50 T20Is, yet the run produced no ICC title in white-ball cricket.
