Kholi is way ahead of others in experience and performance. Besides Kholi - i think - once was U-19 India captain.  Notice that all these players are in the same age group and played in U-19 team - as even team mates.

A couple of years ago it was Sehwag and Gambhir, we all know where those future captains ended up.

rohit sharma is much like dhoni and if he becomes a better i'nal batsman, he is our future captain.

Kohli is an excellent batsman and fielder, no doubt. But he lacks the maturity and temperment to be a good captain. You were spot on regarding his behavior in leading RCB. One example is how aggressively he wanted to pick a fight with Gambhir when KKR played in Bangalore. Yes, I've also noticed him act up against his own teammates on the field. Rohit has to establish himself as a reliable batsman before he can be considered for captaincy but his temperment is far better compared to Kohli's. Let us see how Kohli does in this series.
