MUMBAI: Indian cricket is in the midst of a massive debate: Who should be the next Test captain of India post Virat Kohli vacating the post? At the moment, sources point towards Rohit Sharma — who is already India’s white-ball captain in Kohli’s place — being the top favourite for the position. Rohit was appointed as the vice-captain of India’s Test side before the tour of South Africa, before a hamstring injury ruled him out.
Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar and India’s 2011 World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh are batting for star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who slammed a hundred in the final Test, to take over as the new Test captain.
