“Kohli is a family man now and has a daughter. He would now want to focus more on his family life,” he said during Geo News programme Jashan-e-Cricket.
“Kohli will now save energy for ODIs and Tests,” he added.
Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq also shed light on his views regarding Kohli’s exit as T20I captain.
“Things changed even before T20 World Cup Kohli had announced that this will be his last T20 series as a captain. As a player, I can tell that Kohli wasn’t comfortable with the team and the environment of the dressing room was not stable. You could clearly see two groups — a Mumbai group and a Dehli group,” he said.
