Mahi h relinquished Test captaincy in December 2014 and n stepped down as  captain in limited-overs format in January 2017. Since n Kohli has been leing Indian team in all three formats. Rohit, on or hand, has been leing Men In Blue in Virat's absence. In fact, dashing opener has led India to Nidhas Trophy triumph in 2018 (T20 format) and n to an Asia Cup triumph (50-overs format) later that year. 

batting megastars have also proved ir mettle in ICC  events as well.
