Si Rohit Sharma está aumentando cuando la prueba de prueba, ¿convertirse en administrador legal?

First they said, Rohit Sharma won’t go to England for the Test series altogether, then they claimed he might go, which eventually became, he would go as the captain. As the Indian Test team does not have an alternate to the 38-year-old, at least on immediate basis. But now as it turns out, as per a report in Indian Express, Rohit might not be the leader that the BCCI is looking at, for series starting on June 20.

Instead a youngster will get the go ahead. And maintaining the surprise, who will be that next-in-line Test captain for Team India? Will it be Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, or some out-of-box choice? Yes, there is a Virat Kohli too, but after relinquishing the captaincy a few years back, he isn’t coming back.

Jasprit Bumrah led India in Rohit Sharma’s absence and was good… but is too fragile, and too important a player to be burdened with this responsibility full time. And that, for all practical purposes leaves us with Gill and Pant. Let’s start with the southpaw.

Rishabh Pant — The Current Situation

Hasn’t led India in Tests
Currently Leading LSG in IPL 2025
Team has won only 5 from 11 played
Overall in 54 matches as captain, has won 28 and lost 25
Going through poor form; scored 128 runs in 11 matches
Still One of the most consistent Test batters for IND, in senior leadership group

Shubman Gill – Where he Scores

Leading GT in IPL 2025
GT on top of points table
Batting exceptionally, 508 runs in 11 matches
IF Virat Kohli is King, he is hailed as Prince
Looked as de facto successor of Rohit Sharma

While there is no real concrete reason to pick one, and leave out the other one, it seems that Shubman will still get the role. For long, experts have seen him as the natural successor to Test captaincy, with a few reports only furthering the argument. But what doesn’t really sit well with this decision is, he hasn’t been the best performer.

In 32 Tests, he has only 1893 runs at an average of 35. But then, that said, he has been brilliant in ODIs, and was elevated to the position of vice-captain, before the Champions Trophy.
