Muscat: Former Pakistan Pacer Shoaib Akhtar believes Indian cricket finds himself at the intersection of the road after the end of the Captain’s Era of Virat Kohli, leaving a big task forward to Rahul Dravid who must prove that he is not a “excessive” coach.
A few weeks after he was fired as captain Odi, Kohli surprised everyone after he stopped from the captain of the longest format following a 1-2 draw against South Africa.
“I don’t know what (President of BCCI) Souravai Ganguly and other people think.
But Cricket India is clearly at Pinnacle Point (Crossroads),” Akhtar told PTI on the sidelines of the Legends League Cricket T20 Tournament here.
Under the Stand-in Kl Rahul captain, India also lost the ODI series in South Africa because the management of new coaching under Rahul Dravid suffered their first defeat on its first tour abroad.

Akhtar saw it would see a division in the Indian dressing room during the T20 World Cup.
“I know it will come.
I was in Dubai during that time and I knew every bit.
I know all the scenarios and what happens in the Indian dressing room from my friends in India.” There were people who opposed it.
So I wasn’t surprised by his decision to stop.
This is not an easy job, “said ‘Rawalpindi Express’.” This is the time of testing for him, he (Kohli) must come out stronger.
He must keep things simple, work harder and play the cricket normally.
