The India National Cricket Team are in the middle of nowhere in Test cricket. There is no clarity over the future of senior players in the team, and it's fair to say that the team doesn't even have a captain. This was because Rohit Sharma dropped himself from the last game against Australia and with his poor form, there isn't surety if he will get the role again.
There were talks about handling the role of Shubman Gill as well. Ahead of the series, it was reported that he would be given the vice-captaincy of the team as BCCI wants him to get nurtured under the guidance of senior players. But that wasn't the case, as his poor form with the bat has raised questions about his place in the team, too.
"I have no idea. But I know who shouldn't be, and I won't say it. There are some obvious guys you wouldn't want. The first thing you want is for the vice-captain to walk into the team based on his own performances. For the moment, you are focusing on the England series, and you are expecting Bumrah to be fit, and he becomes your captain."
Jasprit Bumrah has to be your next Test captain - Sanjay Manjrekar
Sanjay Manjrekar further batted for Jasprit Bumrah to be the next Test captain of India National Cricket Team. He believes that Rohit Sharma's tenure as the captain is over and pacer should take over even if he is unfit. He added that someone else could fill in his shoes when the fast bowler is injured. He explained:
"There are too many uncertainties around him, and Bumrah is at the top of his name, and there is nothing out there that we saw where he doesn't seem to have captaincy material. A no-brainer for me. He has to be Test captain when he is unfit or missing anything, then we will think about who's going to be the right one."
Pick out those marquee series and keep him captain for important series - Sanjay Manjrekar on Jasprit Bumrah
"For example, there is so much international cricket happening, you have to pick up series that matters. Bumrah is your captain. He doesn't have to captain 50-over cricket because of Rohit Sharma. Just talk Test cricket right now, pick out those marquee series and you will know which is the important one. When you go to Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa, Bumrah is your captain." concluded Sanjay Manjrekar
