After the spectacular victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, a new era is beginning for the Indian cricket team. After the retirement of captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, which player is ready to take over the command of the team is the biggest question.
Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant are the two main contenders, whose names are leading the way. Both the players have captaincy experience and have also performed brilliantly.
Hardik Pandya is considered experienced. He has led both Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians to victory in the IPL. He is an aggressive batsman and a skilled all-rounder, who is also capable of motivating the team.
Rishabh Pant is young and explosive. He has also performed impressively while captaining the Delhi Capitals. He is an aggressive batsman and wicketkeeper, who can bring life to the team with his energy on the field.
But there are some other players who can be considered:
Shreyas Iyer: Shreyas Iyer, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to victory in IPL 2024, is also a strong contender.
Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav, the number 1 batsman in T20 cricket, can also become a contender for captaincy on the basis of his aggressive batting and excellent form.
Jasprit Bumrah: Veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah can unite the team under his captaincy.
So, who will be the next captain?
It is difficult to say right now which player the BCCI will choose. Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant are strong contenders, but players like Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah cannot be ignored either.
This decision will definitely affect the future of the team and India’s cricket performance in the coming years.
The selection of the next captain of Team India will be an important decision. Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant are strong contenders, but it is also possible that BCCI gives a chance to a young player.
It will be interesting to see which player will take charge of the team in the coming times.
