Considering rohit sharma playing last match as a captain for india in world test championship 2025, India will appoint some new faces in leadership role.
Let's keep it simple to understand bcci way of brainstorming and decision making.
Let's analyze players for captaincy role.
Player name
1. HARDIK PANDYA
2. RISHABH PANT
3. JASPRIT BUMRAH
4. KL RAHUL
5. SHREYAS IYER
6. SANJU SAMSON
7. SURYA KUMAR YADAV
For better understanding let's analyze deeply
7. SURYA KUMAR YADAV= we know surya as a t20i batter only
Which completely excludes him from being a future captain as team india is not going to have two white ball captains.
6. SANJU SAMSON=we know that sanju can make place in indian team in both t20i and odi but the problem is he has no been consistent enough for making in over the years and it's very hard to believe sanju as a captain clearly .
5. SHREYAS IYER= shreyas has just lost his contract, keeping this fact out of the mind I think he has lost his place in test and t20 I already only playing odi cannot make him captain.
4. KL RAHUL= he has been someone to whom bcci has given leadership role at times. It is simple that kl rahul cannot make into t20i squad which rules him out as a white ball captain and if I think in test team what his competitors are batting at no 5 are sarfaraz khan and shreyas iyer. It's very hard to beat these guys clearly.
3. JASPRIT BUMRAH = we all know he is clearly indias best bowler and debately worlds best bowler too but the main thing is now he is a bit more injury prone so he can't play all matches in a series team india will use him very wisely as india can never think of winning world Cup without him leading the bowling side. So it becomes a bit tricky to make him captain and make him play all matches.
2. RISHABH PANT = we know he is indias probably best wicketkeeper batsmen in test and he can also do captaincy so it is an easy pick to make him test captain for india.
1. Hardik Pandya =we know he is someone who can and most probably will lead white ball formats.
So probably hardik pandya as white ball captain and rishabh pant as test captain.
