The BCCI had a review meeting of the team's poor performances of late and as per the several reports, it was learned that the governing body decided to move on from Rohit Sharma. Dainik Jagran reported that the senior batter agreed to stay the captain till the BCCI finds a successor.
The fresh set of reports of Dainik Jagran, however, claimed that that coach Gautam Gambhir and the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee identified Rohit Sharma's captaincy replacement. But both the parties were on different pages related to their choices.

Hence, it was decided that there is a need to have a strong vice-captain who could lead the team in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah when there are workload-related issues. While the selectors were in favor of giving the role to Rishabh Pant, head coach Gautam Gambhir backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to take the role.
