Rohit Sharma took over the Test team after Virat Kohli in 2022 and gave the team 12 wins in 24 Tests. However, he retired from Test cricket due to poor form. Shubman Gill is at the forefront of the captaincy race, especially given his young age and captaincy capacity. Apart from this, the team’s veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah along with aggressive wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is also in this race. (BCCI)

Talking to PTI about this, former chief selector MSK Prasad said, “My captain will be Jasprit Bumrah, as he has already proved himself as a leader.
