However, former Australia captain Michael Clarke feels that Rohit Sharma should lead India in the upcoming Test series against England, which is due to begin in July after the conclusion of the IPL.
While speaking to RevSportz, Michael Clarke backed Rohit Sharma to go to England as India's captain. Clarke feels that Rohit will regain his Test form in the series and will be amongst the runs.

"He would be the perfect No. 5 in Test cricket. He plays the quicks well if he walks out to bat if you are three (down) for not many runs. He plays the short ball well and he takes the spinners on," Clarke noted.

Rohit Sharma's recent Test form
In the five home Tests played against Bangladesh and New Zealand last year, Rohit managed just 133 runs at an average of 13.30 with the best of 52. His batting form reflected in his captaincy too as he was left clueless on several occasions, especially against New Zealand.
Rohit endured a severe dip in form during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy later. He scored 31 runs in three Tests at an average of just 6.20. Due to his poor form, he had to drop himself for the last Test in Sydney.
