Who Would Step Up In Virat Kohli's Position? 

After Virat Kohli's retirement, a big void is left in the Indian Cricket Team, as they need to step up for the number four spot. Michael Atherton believes that he pities the cricketer who would be named for the position.

"We're not sure who is going to take his place at No. 4 yet, and you kind of pity the person who has to follow because you've just had about 15 years of Kohli and before that, it was Sachin Tendulkar," Atherton said on Sky Sports.

It is yet to be seen who would be named as Virat Kohli's replacement for red-ball cricket when Team India travels to England for an away test tour.
