The selection of the next captain in the Indian Test team has created more buzz than any other selection.
Sanjay Manjrekar was one of the experts who wanted Jasprit Bumrah to become the next skipper after Rohit Sharma in Test cricket. Bumrah led the Indian team in the Border-Gavaskar trophy in the absence of Rohit Sharma.
Manjrekar reckons Bumrah is the ideal player to become the captain of the Indian Test team, as he is the only ‘genuinely great player’ in the current Indian squad.
"We've had Rohit Sharma, who recently captained India and played only three of the five test matches. We had Virat Kohli in the past opting out of test matches and not playing the full series. But still, the captain,” Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo.

Jasprit Bumrah's injury concerns
The selection committee confirmed that Bumrah isn’t available for the whole Test series against England due to managing his workload.
Manjrekar believed that Bumrah is the only senior player in the squad at this moment, and if Bumrah is available for two matches, the Indian team should start with Bumrah as skipper.
‘Too much burden on Shubman Gill’
Sanjay Manjrekar also reckoned that Shubman Gill has to find his feet in English conditions, and that will put too much burden on him.
Gill is ready to take the legacy of Virat Kohli forward and has to showcase his captaincy skills as well in the England tour.
India will play five Test matches in England across Leeds, Edgbaston, Lord’s, Manchester, and the Oval.
