The announcement has been made, not Iyer and Gill after Rohit Sharma, this player will become Team India’s new ODI captain
Team India: A new debate has erupted about captaincy in Indian cricket. Rohit Sharma has already announced his retirement from T20 and Test format and now speculation about ODI future has intensified. It is believed that the ODI series of Australia tour may be Rohit’s last ODI campaign. Although BCCI and Rohit themselves have not given any official statement about this, fans and experts have already started thinking about who will get the command of Team India (Team India).
Shreyas will not get responsibility?
In the initial stages, Shreyas Iyer’s name was considered to be at the forefront. There were speculations that the board could hand over new responsibility to them. Similarly, Shubman Gill, who has recently become the Test captain of India, was also considered a strong contender for this race. But now reports have come out that the BCCI is currently not seriously considering both these options.
Suresh Raina told the real candidate
Former Indian star batsman Suresh Raina has made a big statement on the issue. He believes that after Rohit Sharma, if a player is capable of taking charge of the ODI team, he is Hardik Pandya. According to Raina, Hardik is an all-rounder as well as the leadership ability that makes him special. He said that he feels like Pandya’s glimpse of Kapil Dev, who had the power to turn the dice of both bat and ball.
Raine praised fiercely
Raina also said that Hardik Pandya is a very positive captain and in the way he talks to his colleagues on the field, he sees a glimpse of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Their energy, confidence and way of relying on players make them different. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma retires from ODI cricket, then the biggest contender will neither be Iyer, nor will Hardik Pandya, who can show a new direction to Team India.
