Ishant Sharma said that pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is a highly experienced campaigner, and he should be named the new India Test captain if he is fit and fine.
Reportedly, Jasprit Bumrah is not being considered for Test captaincy despite serving as Rohit Sharma's deputy in the last two Test series, as he has himself withdrawn from the race, citing his injury and workload concerns.
Meanwhile, Ishant Sharma backed Bumrah as the new Test captain, but mentioned that Shubman Gill should get the responsibility if the pacer is not ready to play all the matches on the England tour.

Speaking further on the same development, Ishant Sharma said that Kohli definitely would have had some conversations with his very close people before taking retirement, but expressed surprise over his move, saying that he should have played for 2-3 more years.
"And right now, the kind of routine he follows and everything... I am not talking about numbers that he should have scored 10,000. That is a different thing. Talk about fitness first. If you are fit, you can score 10,000. You can take 500 wickets. You can play as long as you want. But his fitness is the answer even at 36."
