In this collection of pictures, we shall take a look at the star cricketers who are in the line to lead Team India in Tests after Rohit Sharma's retirement.
Jasprit Bumrah has captained India in the Test arena before and is widely respected for his on-field leadership skills. That said, his fitness record and the demands of managing his workload could weigh on the minds of the selectors. Even so, his strategic insight and international experience position him as a leading candidate for the role.
KL Rahul has led the Indian side in all formats and brings a composed presence that could serve the team well. His track record as a captain in both domestic and international arenas strengthens his case. Although he's been in good touch lately, his physical condition will be an important consideration for the selectors.
Rishabh Pant's accomplishments in the Test arena bolster his claim to leadership. He has played a key role in several of India's standout red-ball triumphs, notably the historic series wins in Australia and strong outings in England. As a wicketkeeper and aggressive batter, Pant adds vitality and grit to the side, with his sharp game sense earning widespread appreciation. His composure in high-pressure moments further enhances his credentials as a potential captain.
Shubman Gill is seen as a rising star from the next generation and has been identified as a potential leader in the years to come. His steady form and composure beyond his years position him as a strong candidate for long-term leadership. Having already served as vice-captain in white-ball formats, he brings valuable experience to the table.
"Hello everyone, I would just like to share, I am retiring from Test cricket. It's been an absolute honour to represent my country in whites. Thank you for all love and support over the years. I will continue to represent India in ODI format," Rohit wrote.
