Kohli will be leading India for the first time in a T20 World Cup and the skipper had himself announced that it will be his last tournament as captain of the side in the shortest format of the game.

Kohli had led India in two major ICC events -- Champions Trophy in 2017 and 2019 World Cup -- but he is yet to get his hands on silverware as a captain. 

Kohli's first match as captain in a T20 World Cup will be against arch-rivals Pakistan. The mega clash is scheduled to be played at the Dubai International Stadium on October 24.
