Is Virat Kohli Team India's 'Mr. Fix It? This is why this question is being raised amid the captaincy controversy.

Last year was a bittersweet one for Team India. When just half of the year had passed, every Indian fan was happy because Team India had ended the long wait by winning the T20 World Cup. But by the end of the year, the situation changed and everything seemed to be falling apart. In such a situation, the hope was that with the change in the date on the calendar, perhaps the situation of the team would also change, but on the very first day of the new year, reports of disputes and differences in the dressing room created a stir. Amidst all this, the issue of captaincy has also heated up and 'Mr. Fix It' is being mentioned a lot and fingers are being pointed towards Virat Kohli.

On Wednesday, January 1, 2025, a report in an English newspaper claimed that head coach Gautam Gambhir was very angry after Team India's crushing defeat in the Melbourne Test. The coach reprimanded all the players in the dressing room and said that now everyone will have to listen to him. Apart from this, the ongoing conflict over captaincy was also mentioned in the report. Rohit Sharma's captaincy is currently under question and in such a situation, some players are dreaming of becoming the next captain.

Who is 'Mr. Fix It' amid the captaincy controversy?

In case of Rohit Sharma's exit, Jasprit Bumrah is almost certain to become the next Test captain, because he is the vice-captain and has led India to victory in the Perth Test against Australia. But this report claims that a senior player of Team India has also staked a claim for this and has called himself 'Mr. Fix It', that is, the one who can fix the situation. The report states that this player believes that he can handle the captaincy for some time because the young players are not fully ready yet.

Now the question is who is this senior 'Mr. Fix It'? If we talk about the senior players in Team India right now, apart from Rohit, there are Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul and Jaspreet Bumrah. Among them, Bumrah is in line to become the permanent captain. Jadeja does not have much experience of captaincy and his place is also under question. Talking about KL Rahul, he has experience of captaincy but the results have not been very good and his place also does not seem to be confirmed.

Does Virat want to become captain again?

In such a situation, only Virat Kohli remains the person who seems to be a contender for this. There is no need to write or say anything about Kohli's captaincy, everyone knows it. Kohli seems likely to do this because he has been seen very active on the field on some occasions during this series. In the Perth Test, in Rohit's absence, he was constantly helping Bumrah in taking decisions and at times taking some decisions himself.

Similarly, on the first and fourth day of the Melbourne Test, he was seen explaining things to the bowlers and fielders. He was even shown getting involved in this way on the TV screen. In such a situation, if there is doubt like Kohli, then it is not surprising. Everyone knows that Kohli had resigned from the captaincy of the Test team half-heartedly 2 years ago. In such a situation, if he is wishing to become the captain of the team again, then this may be unexpected but not very surprising.
