Newly appointed India's T20I vice-captain Tilak Varma has received a strong message from former cricketer Mohammad Kaif, who cautioned that leadership does not guarantee a permanent place in the team. Kaif stressed that consistent performances remain the only criterion for selection, pointing to recent examples where even senior players and captains have been dropped. The remarks come after India's leadership reshuffle following their T20 World Cup triumph, with Tilak elevated to the vice-captaincy. The warning highlights the highly competitive environment in Indian cricket, where every player must continue delivering results to retain their place. (PC: HT)
