Former Indian player Ravichandran Ashwin talked about a different perspective on Test captaincy and also threw a wildcard option for the selectors.
The reports are claiming that Shubman Gill is most likely to take over the Test captaincy after Rohit Sharma. But many former players are still backing Jasprit Bumrah to lead the side again.
In between Bumrah and Gill, Ashwin picked a wildcard player for the leadership race. He picked his former fellow spin partner Ravindra Jadeja as he is the most experienced player in the Indian team right now after Rohit and Kohli’s retirement.
Ashwin wants selectors to give at least two years to Jadeja to prove his capabilities in the Indian Test side.
Ravindra Jadeja shatters big record in Tests
Jadeja’s consistency with both bat and ball in every condition has been a reason for his Test legacy. He has proved himself in all aspects of the game.
He is the fifth-highest wicket-taker for India in Test cricket. Jadeja scalps 323 wickets in 150 innings. He has taken 15 five-wicket hauls in his Test career.
Ravichandran Ashwin on Shubman Gill's future
According to Ashwin, Gill has to pick the best playing XI in Test cricket, and to make a good Test squad, he must track the domestic cricket in India.
Gill has to prove himself in the England tour as he is yet to perform in the overseas Test matches. He is standing tall as becoming the next Test skipper for the Indian team.
