Ashwin should replace Rohit as captain; The Pakistani superstar made a shocking statement to his fans
The Indian team is gearing up to play their last Test series ahead of the World Test Championship. India now faces a four-match series against Australia.
The challenge for India is the poor form of superstars including captain Rohit Sharma before the match. Apart from Rohit Sharma’s poor form, the list of Test series that the player has lost is also worrying the fans.
In the absence of Rohit Sharma during India’s tour of Bangladesh, KL Rahul led India. Rahul had led the team to victory in the first Test captaincy series. But the player was a failure as a captain and as a batter.
Rahul’s poor performance as a batsman was seen throughout the series and the team selection in the second Test also questioned Rahul’s captaincy.
But Rohit Sharma should be removed from the captaincy and replaced by veteran superstar R. Former Pakistan player Danish Kaneria wants Ashwin to be appointed as the captain.
Kaneria says Ashwin still has a lot of cricket left in him and he is fully qualified to lead the Indian team. He added that Ashwin is a thinking cricketer and Ashwin can lead the Indian team to great heights
Ravichandran Ashwin is a qualified player to replace Rohit Sharma as captain in the longest format. Ashwin still has a lot of cricket left. He is a smart, intelligent cricketer,’ Kaneria said.
Ashwin was brilliant with bat and ball in both the India-Bangladesh Test series. It was Ashwin who led India to victory when they faced defeat in the second Test.
Ashwin remained calm even when India were under pressure in the match against Bangladesh. He has saved the Indian team many times with his batting performance.
In the past, when India went out to play Tests without Anil Kumble, the team looked very weak. That is what is going to happen now even without Ashwin,’ added Kaneria.
