Case in Apposition

Apposition means ‘placing near’. When one noun follows another noun to describe it,
the noun which follows is said to be in apposition to the noun which comes before it,
i.e., the second noun is case in apposition of the first noun.

A noun in apposition is in the same case as the noun which it describes.
Read the following example:

Virat, our captain, made eighty runs.
In the above sentence, Virat and our captain are one and the same person. The noun
captain follows the noun Virat simply to explain which Virat is referred to.

The noun captain is in opposition to the nominative case (because Virat is in the
nominative case.)
