A MyKhel report claimed that the Indian selectors are keeping a close eye on KL Rahul, especially since Rohit Sharma’s form has taken a major dip in the ongoing IPL 2025.
His struggle to score runs for the Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL 2025 has raised serious concerns among the national selectors about his position as Test captain.
On the other hand, KL Rahul has the experience of leading the India National Cricket Team in Tests earlier, and even though his captaincy record is mixed, his calm approach and experience in English conditions give him an edge over Rohit Sharma.
Indian selectors are worried about Rohit Sharma's form
Some officials believe Rohit has done well as a Test captain, particularly in home conditions, and backed his experience for a tough series like England. But with Rohit’s bat going silent even on home turf, doubts are growing about his ability to contribute overseas, even as a batter.
As reported by MyKhel, Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah and wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul are seen as the front-runners for the Test captaincy, but Rohit’s time is all but over now. A source told the portal, “The selectors must be very worried about Rohit's form.”
Sai Sudharsan, Sai Kishore, and Karun Nair are likely to be picked for the England tour
On the other hand, Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair are also being considered for the upcoming Test series against England. Sai Sudharsan’s strong form for the Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL 2025 has caught the attention of the selectors, especially because of his solid batting technique, which could suit Test cricket. Sai has already amassed 273 runs in five games so far this season.
Speaking about Rahul, the Indian batter scored 185 runs in three games in the league so far. Delhi Capitals is currently ranked second on the IPL 2025 points table, having won all four games so far in the tournament.
