Virat Kohli's star came into circulation, As soon as the captaincy was lifted
The former Indian captain averaged just 8.67 in the ODI series against the West Indies
''The one-day series against the West Indies proved to be a nightmare for former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli.''
As soon as he took over the captaincy, Virat Kohli's star came into circulation and he became out of form, which can be gauged from Kohli's performance in the ODI series against West Indies on the tour of India. In the last match of the three-match ODI series against West Indies, Kohli also returned to the pavilion to defeat 0, he was dismissed by Alzi Joseph.
Earlier, Virat Kohli had scored 8 runs in the first ODI and 18 runs in the second match. In this ODI series, Kohli's average was 8.67. This is the second time Kohli has faced such a poor performance in his career, having scored an average of 4.33 in the entire series against Pakistan in 2012.
The best coincidence in the worst performance is that it happened to them at home.Golden Duck🥺

Virat Kohli suffered a zero-sum defeat for the 15th time overall. He has now surpassed former cricketers Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina. Among India's top-order batsmen who have been bowled out for zero in ODIs, Kohli is now Sachin Tendulkar (20) and Yuvraj Singh (18). And Saro is fourth after Ganguly (16). It is the highest number of dismissals at zero by any Indian batsman batting at No. 3 in ODI cricket.
Overall, Kohli is second only to former Australian captain Ricky Ponting (16). It may be recalled that Virat Kohli had resigned from the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format after the T20 World Cup, after which he was removed from the leadership of the ODI team. Indian Cricket Board chief Saro Ganguly had revealed that the board had asked Virat Kohli not to relinquish his T20 captaincy but he resigned from the T20 leadership.
