India, who topped the group stage, suffered a heart-wrenching 18-run defeat in the semifinals against New Zealand, thus bowing out of the ongoing edition of the World Cup. Following India's shock exit, many fans have expressed their disappointment and feel Rohit should take over the captaincy from Kohli in the 50-over format. Rohit has led India before as well and is expected to lead the team in their next tour to the West Indies in ODIs and T20 series.
