April 7 (CRICKETNMORE) - Former India opener and current Kings XI Punjab mentor Virender Sehwag said that he would want a bowler to become national team captain after Virat Kohli.

While responding to a question during a press conference ahead of KXIP's opening IPL match against Delhi Daredevils, Sehwag said, "I am a great fan of a bowling captain. I watched Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram as captains. In India generally you don't give captaincy to bowlers, but hopefully after Virat (Kohli) some bowler will become the captain (of national team),".
