Delhi: The Indian cricket team has introduced many captains in the last seven months. Apart from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah became India’s Test captains. Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya were also captains in fixed over cricket. Rohit became the captain when Kohli stepped down after the tour of South Africa.

The selectors also explored other options while choosing the captaincy of the Test team. Apart from Rohit, the names of Rahul, Bumrah and Pant also came up for discussion. Many argued that having the young player captain the ball would be beneficial. Former Indian player Akash Chopra has also come out in support of Pant.

Chopra says that there is a possibility that Rohit will be the captain only in fixed over cricket in future. If that happens, Pant will overtake Rahul as the captain of the Test team, says Chopra. “Apart from Rohit, there are three captains. Rahul, Pant and Shreyas are the captains. Sanju Samson is also captaincy material. Pant will become the captain after surpassing Rahul in Test cricket. Aggressiveness off the ball will help. There is no doubt that Rahul is a class player. But there is no clarity about Rahul’s leadership skills,” Chopra clarified on the YouTube channel.

“Even when using bowlers, the ball is aggressive. In IPL that is obvious. But we should also think about not handing over Kuldeep Yav, who took four wickets in three overs while leading Delhi Capitals. It was the ball’s flaw. But Pant is learning very quickly. There is no doubt about it. But there is a lot of growing to do. The same can be said about Shreyas, Rahul and Sanju,” said Chopra.
