The three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is starting from October 16. As soon as this test series ends, the Indian team will leave for Australia. India has to play a 5-match test series in Australia. In such a situation, India will play 3 matches at home and 5 abroad. Meaning 8 matches are important for India and that too from the point of view of WTC final. Meanwhile, there may be a big change in Team India. It is expected that coach Gautam Gambhir can announce the new captain and vice-captain for both these series.

He can be the captain of India in New Zealand and Australia test series.

A big change can be seen in the Indian team in the Test series of New Zealand and Australia. It can only start against the Kiwis. Coach Gautam Gambhir can announce the new captain. Recently there have been reports that Rohit Sharma may take rest from the New Zealand Test series as his wife Ritika is going to give birth to their second child.

This is the reason why Hitman hardly plays this series whereas India can get a permanent new captain in the Australia series because under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India also has to play the Champions Trophy and perhaps this will be the reason that there is not much work load on him, hence Rohit. KL Rahul should be removed from the captaincy and this responsibility should be handed over. KL Rahul is also very experienced and has captained India. In such a situation, he will not face any problem and he is also considered very special to Gambhir.

Let us tell you that KL Rahul has captained India in 1 T20, 12 ODIs and 3 Tests, out of which there has been 1 win in T20, 8 wins in ODIs, 4 losses while in Tests there have been 2 wins and one loss.

Rishabh Pant can become vice-captain

Rishabh Pant can become the vice-captain of India in the New Zealand and Australia Test series. Pant is being seen as the captain of Team India in the future. In such a situation, this is also a good opportunity for them. Pant has also captained India once. In 2022, he captained Team India against South Africa. Pant had drawn the 5-match T20 series under his captaincy. At the same time, Pant has good experience of captaincy in IPL also. He has captained in 30 matches so far, out of which Delhi has won 16 and lost 13.
