Indian cricket legend Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test and T20 cricket. Now it is only part of the Indian team in the one-day format. However, there is speculation that a series of three ODIs against Australia in October this year may be their last international range. Rohit’s decision has begun a new era in Indian cricket and a big question has arisen who will handle the team’s captaincy. Five main names have come up in this race.
Five players in the new captain race
After Rohit Sharma’s retirement, there are a total of five players in the race to become captain of the ODI team. Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Shubhman Gill, Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant. All five players are considered as the future pillars of Indian cricket. However, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Shubhman Gill are considered at the forefront of the race. The performance of these three players has been extremely excellent in the ODI and has proven itself in this format of cricket. Shubhman Gill, in particular, has emerged as a strong contender, who has recently proved his ability in the Test captain.
A big challenge to replace Rohit Sharma
This decision could prove to be a turn for Indian cricket. To replace an experienced captain like Rohit Sharma will be a big challenge for anyone. Now it will be interesting to see which young player entrusts the responsibility of the BCCI One-Day team leadership. This decision will depend not only on the current performance, but also on the player’s long -term fitness and leadership capacity. Who will be the new captain of the future of Indian cricket will soon be clear.
