Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant
Team India: BCCI is still in a state of contemplation after the defeat against Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian team will now play the next test match after a long time, but in the meantime discussions are definitely being held. Not only are the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being discussed, who will be the new captain and vice-captain of the team is also a topic of discussion. Although it is believed that Jasprit Bumrah will be the next captain of Test Team India, but the way he has got injured is a cause for concern. In such a situation, BCCI is also thinking about who should be made the next vice-captain. At present, two names are running for this chair, who can handle the responsibility of vice-captain.
Jasprit Bumrah can be the next test captain
Regarding Jasprit Bumrah, it is almost certain that he can be the new captain after Rohit Sharma. Now he has taken command of the Indian team in three test matches. Out of these, two matches have been lost and one has been won. At present he is injured and it is believed that now he will not be able to play for the Indian team even in the Champions Trophy. However, BCCI has not announced the team yet. It is being told that he is not in a position to play due to muscle strain. If we talk about Test, then the wish of BCCI Selection Committee is that under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, a player who remains away from injury and can play Test continuously for India should be made the vice-captain. It has been told in a PTI report that currently the names of Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are in the forefront for this.
Team India will play the next test match in June
Team India will now play a five-Test series against England in June. There is still a lot of time left and till then whether Rohit Sharma plays or not is a matter of future. In such a situation, there is every possibility that Jasprit Bumrah will be given the command. The Indian team is out of the race for the final of this World Test Championship, but the England series is going to be very important for the next cycle. This is going to be the first time that the Indian team will not play the final of the World Test Championship. Earlier, once under the captaincy of Virat Kohli and second time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team had reached the finals, it is another matter that even after this the title was not achieved.
Rishabh Pant and Jaiswal are the strongest contenders
Rishabh Pant’s claim for vice-captaincy is the strongest. He is only 27 years old and since his return, has been playing Tests continuously. Jaiswal’s Test career has just started, but he is the only Indian player who has played Test matches continuously in the last three years. During his short career, he has made many new records. It is expected that Yashasvi Jaiswal will play at least two more rounds of the World Test Championship. Besides, he is also a permanent member of the team. However, there is still a lot of time left for the next Test series and BCCI has time to think. But looking at the current situation, it definitely seems that many changes may be seen in the coming times.
