Delhi: After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from Test cricket, the Indian team is now looking for a new captain. India will launch the cycle of 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) from the upcoming Test series of five matches against England. In such a situation, this series is considered very important for India.

However, Jasprit Bumrah, who was the vice-captain, captained the team in two Test matches on the tour of Australia, but in view of his fitness and workload, there is doubt about making him a full-time captain in a long series like England.

Recent media reports claimed that young batsman Shubman Gill can be made captain and Rishabh Pant can be made vice-captains. But in the meantime, former cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu has strongly advocated to make Bumrah a captain.

Sidhu said on ‘Sports till’, “The first option for me is Jasprit Bumrah. If you get out with four pace in England, the weather is cold. There is no heat like Australia, where sweat and cramps come. Their energy will be safe. They can be given 3-4 overs spells, such as West Indies can be given pressure, the same effect can be given.”

Sidhu further said, “If you do not want to make Bumrah a captain and are worried about his back, then make Virat Kohli an interim captain. No one can be a better option than this. Give him the responsibility, when the team returns from the tour, he himself will say that ‘Gill, now you take care. Is, people who forget. “

However, there have also been reports that Virat Kohli has decided to retire from Test cricket, but the BCCI has asked him to think this decision again. Significantly, Kohli has been India’s most successful Test captain. He has won the team in 40 out of 68 Tests.
