Sehwag believes Team India are playing good cricket under Kohli’s leadership and urged the 33-year-old not to relinquish the captaincy of the other two formats. While answering a question on his Facebook show, Sehwag said:
Despite Team India playing aggressive cricket, they have failed to win an ICC tournament under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. While he cannot lead India to a T20 World Cup anymore, the 2023 ODI World Cup and World Test Championship seem to be his final hopes.

India should definitely introspect on failure to win ICC tournament: Virender Sehwag
Team India’s wait for an ICC trophy was extended with their elimination from the 2021 T20 World Cup. The Men In Blue last won silverware in 2013, the ICC Champions Trophy.
Sehwag noted how there is a desperate need for India to win a major trophy despite them dominating bilateral contests on a consistent basis. Sehwag added:
There are three major ICC events on the horizon across all formats. The 2022 T20 World Cup will be hosted by Australia. India have had a good start to the second cycle of the World Test Championship. They will also play host to the 2023 ICC World Cup.
