Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that Virat Kohli should lead the national team in the one-off Test match against Bangladesh before being rested for three-match ODI series after having had gruelling five months of international cricket.
The Indian team for the tour of Bangladesh will be selected on May 20th in Mumbai and there has been reports that Kohli, who has been playing non-stop since last November in Australia might be rested.
“I would want him to play in the Test match and then be rested for the three-match One day series. Actually, the likes of Virat, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh yadav, who has bowled a lot can be rested. Ideally as a player, I would want some rest as the kind of workload they have had playing for last four and half months,” Gavaskar said.
