Xtra Time Web Desk : Virat Kohli last Saturday dropped a bombshell as he stepped down as the Test captain of the Indian cricket team after the series defeat against South Africa. Kohli took to Twitter to make the mega announcement.

The decision by 33 year old batter, also the most successful Indian Test Captain ever, came as a shock to cricket fans and experts all over the world. Since that announcement, cricket fraternity started putting forward for their opinions upon the issue. And now, Kiran more has added himself to that list.

In an interview with News 18, More said, "The way he has left is a bit sad. The way people have treated him, and I am not talking of the BCCI, and criticised him was not fair. He has played a lot of cricket, he has done well for India. The way he played any form of cricket, he had that quality. He always showed the character that he wanted to win. Let's not forget he is a World Cup winner (2011). He has got 70 international hundreds and is a special player. I am disappointed with the way people were talking about him and the way his captaincy was criticised. For me, he is a legend. Performance-wise, we cannot touch him. I am not worried about him stepping down from T20 or ODI captaincy. That is part of life. The way people were criticising him was not good."

Kohli won 40 out of 68 Tests as a captain and it was under him that India became a mighty force and dominated every team at home.
