Virat Kohli cannot replace Dhoni’s Captaincy:- Shahid Afridi
Virat Kohli will lead the Indian side at Sydney from 6th January as a regular skipper after Dhoni’s immediate retirement.

“Dhoni has changed the face of Indian cricket and took them to the pinnacle of success and his captaincy will be missed by the Indian team. He has led them well in all formats,” Pakistan 2011 World Cup, skipper said in a TV Channel
The present Pakistan T20 skipper Afridi announced recently that he will retire from ODI cricket after the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 in Australia and New Zealand.
