Rohit Sharma: The current captain of the Indian cricket team, Hitman Rohit Sharma, is 37 years old and he may retire from cricket in the next one or two years. For some time now, there has been a discussion about who will be Rohit Sharma’s successor, that is, which player will be given the responsibility of the Indian captain after him.
It is known that BCCI has given the responsibility of the Indian T20 team to Suryakumar Yadav and he is doing quite well. But let us know who is going to be his successor in Tests.
Who will become India’s Test captain after Rohit Sharma
Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma has been leading the Indian Test team since 2022 and the team’s performance under his leadership has been excellent so far. But he may have to say goodbye to Test cricket in a few years. In such a situation, BCCI can hand over the command of this team to another player. According to some experts and fans, BCCI should hand over the command of this team to KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant. But the board has decided to make Jasprit Bumrah the captain.
It is known that BCCI has not yet officially announced Jasprit Bumrah as the next captain. But recently while announcing the team for the Test series against New Zealand, BCCI has entrusted Bumrah with the post of vice-captain.
From which it is clear that BCCI wants Bumrah to become the next Test captain. Let us tell you that if this happens then there can be nothing better than this for Indian fans, because the kind of bowler Jasprit Bumrah is, he can also become such a good leader.
Talking about Rohit’s record of captaincy in Test cricket, it is quite amazing. Hitman has captained 18 matches so far, in which he has won 12. While he has faced defeat in only 4. During this period, 2 matches were drawn. At present, he is India’s 5th most successful Test captain. If he wins 3 more matches, he will become the fourth captain to lead India to the most Test match wins.
