— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) May 9, 2025Having said that, Rohit’s retirement comes as a bolt from the blue. With the five Test series coming up vs England on June 20, the team would have wanted one of their senior-most players to be around. In fact, a couple of months back, there were reports that he would continue as the skipper for the tour.
Who Would be India’s Test Captain?
Now, with this decision, it remains to be seen, as to who becomes the skipper for the tour and the Test side. Various reports claim that Shubman Gill is the front-runner to be the skipper, while Rishabh Pant could be in the race too. As for openers, there is the choice of Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Abhimanyu Easwaran and perhaps new entrant, Sai Sudharsan.
