Rohit is currently leading the Indian team in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy. Under his captaincy, India have qualified for the final and are now just one win away from winning the tournament. However, reports state that even if India go on to clinch the trophy, Rohit is unlikely to continue as the captain.
India failed to qualify for the WTC final for the first time after suffering a humiliating 3-0 loss at home against New Zealand before conceding the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Rohit's performance with the bat during both the series was abysmal and many believe that he won't lead India in the next WTC cycle.
Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul in contention:
With Rohit Sharma's future as the captain of the India team in doubt, Dainik Jagran has reported that current vice-captain Shubman Gill as well as Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are in the race to become the new India captain in the 50-over format.
Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of the T20I team when it won the T20 World Cup last year. He was expected to replace Rohit as the full-time captain but the selectors and the team management went with Suryakumar Yadav.
However, with the allrounder returning to the ODI team and delivering consistent performances, he has once again put himself in the race for the leadership role. KL Rahul has been also an indispensable part of the ODI team while Gill is seen by many as the future of Indian cricket.
