Indian team is facing some turbulence after Virat Kohli was kicked out for nepotism and favoritism. The entire team is divided in to two camps - one supporting Kohli and the other that doesn't. The Kohli camp is trying hard to protect the players in their camp. For example, Hardik Pandya was persisted in the team for many years despite not performing up to the mark. Players like Venkatesh Iyer, drafted in as the replacement for Hardik are not given enough chances to showcase their skills. All this is having an impact on the performance.
Rather than nepotism and favouritism, the team is full of politics. This is common with Indian team, earlier it was with Dhoni. In particular how this politics is being made is from the senior players. The senior players used to give pressure to the board that one player from their association must be there in the team. This means from Mumbai Cricket Association there needs to be a player, whether he performs or not is secondary. This is how the board seems to operate.Right now tough competition is between Maharashtra and Bengal because these factors are had very big influence and these both were agreed for Kohli but now these both require their own choices which is not easy with just 11 players to be in team if they are not able to settle this all then surely they are going to have very bad impact in overall in near future.
Kohli should forget about nepotism or favoritism and concentrate on his own game and try to upgrade it. Otherwise, he might be thrown out of the team as well.
Doesn't matter that he is the best player in the world. If we cannot perform he is of no use to the team. And these certain problems have to be solved because otherwise as you said it's going to have a really bad effect on the team. A lot of good and potential players are going to be in danger.
