Next captain of Team India: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is at stake after losing the home series against New Zealand and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Along with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Gautam Gambhir has also started searching for a new captain. Earlier it was being said that Jasprit Bumrah is the future captain of the team but now everyone is not agreed on his name.
How long will Rohit Sharma remain captain?
One of the many topics discussed during the recent BCCI review meeting in Mumbai was the future Indian captaincy in Test and ODI cricket. Rohit Sharma told the selectors that ‘I will remain the captain until the board appoints his successor. However, according to a recent report, the selection committee headed by coaches Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar identified the captaincy option of Rohit, but there was some confusion internally.
Rohit’s performance increased the tension
The performance of 37 year old Rohit has worried the selectors. Rohit said, ‘I will fully support my successor.’ It was then decided that Rohit would remain the ODI captain for the Champions Trophy while the selectors would decide on his future after the tournament is over.
Two players are contenders for captaincy
According to the report, during the review meeting, Rohit discussed the possibility of handing over the captaincy to Jasprit Bumrah. Meanwhile, everyone was worried about Bumrah’s workload management. Bumrah played 5 consecutive test matches in Australia. He became unfit during the final Test and could not bowl in the second innings. Team India had to suffer the consequences of this. India lost the Sydney Test. However, when the selectors decided to make Rishabh Pant the next captain in Test cricket, Gambhir supported Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Pant has captaincy experience
Rishabh Pant, who leads the Delhi team in domestic cricket, captained the Indian team in the home T20 series against South Africa in June 2022. The captain appointed for that series, KL Rahul, was out due to injury. Yashaswini currently has no captaincy experience. Now it remains to be seen as to whose name there will be a consensus between the selectors and the head coach.
Will Suryakumar Yadav become ODI captain?
Suryakumar was appointed India’s T20 captain in July last year after Rohit retired from the format following the conclusion of the T20 World Cup. However, his place in the ODI team is not confirmed yet. Due to this, it is difficult for him to become captain in 50 over cricket. The selectors also want to make Bumrah the ODI captain. Apart from this, the management will appoint a vice-captain who can handle the captaincy while giving rest to Bumrah.
