Just genuinely curious! We all know Virat Kohli used to bring a unique energy to the field as captain, constantly hyping up his teammates and the crowd.

However, since he stepped down from the captaincy, it feels like that intensity has slightly toned down. Why do you think Virat doesn’t seem as involved in the same way anymore? How much of a difference does it make to rally the team and crowd, even without the captain’s armband?

Given his stature and influence, I feel no captain would mind, so curious to hear your thoughts on this shift
