Kohli excited about captaincy challenge

Kohli has been made stand-in captain for the regional mega-event after regular skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is under the scanner following the team’s dismal showing in the recent away tours was forced out due to injury.

‘I don’t think this is anything compared to what he has gone through in the past few years,’ Kohli said.  ‘I am captain for just one tournament. It is completely different from regularly captaining the side. When you win, you’re praised, when you lose, you’re criticised.’
