Tamil Sports Update: India’s Rohit Sharma has been appointed vice-captain of the Test team following his recent tour of South Africa.
Indian Test Team New Captain Rohit Sharma : Rohit Sharma has been appointed as the next captain of the Indian Test team after Virat Kohli stepped down as Test captain.
Virat Kohli was the captain of the Indian cricket team for all 3 categories. Virat Kohli has announced his resignation as captain of the T20 team following the T20 World Cup series in the United States late last year. Accordingly, Virat Kohli resigned as captain as the Indian team exited the league round of the T20 World Cup series.
Following this, action player Rohit Sharma was appointed as the captain of the T20 team, while Virat Kohli was abruptly removed from the post of captain for the ODIs and Rohit Sharma was given the captaincy of the ODI team. Both BCCI President Ganguly and Virat Kohli have differing views on the removal of Virat Kohli as captain. The controversy continues.
In this context, Rohit Sharma has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian Test team following his recent tour of South Africa. But due to injury, Rohit Sharma did not participate in the series and Rahul led the team for the ODIs. But India lost the three-match Test series 2-1 to South Africa. Suddenly Virat Kohli announced his resignation as Test captain as well.
Virat Kohli’s announcement has come as a shock not only to the fans but also to the former players, raising expectations for who will be the next captain of the Test team.
