New Delhi: The Indian Test team is going through a major change. Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test cricket. Virat Kohli has also told the BCCI that he also wants to leave the test. The BCCI is looking at the option of the new captain for the team. There are only a few weeks left for the series against England and a major challenge has come before the selectors. Jaspreet Bumrah was in the role of vice -captain during Rohit’s captaincy.

Bumrah does not want to become captain

Jasprit Bumrah himself does not want to be the captain of the Indian Test team. This has been claimed in the Sky Sports report. It has been told that Jasprit Bumrah has also refused to captain due to workload management. Bumrah’s career has been affected by injury. In 2022-23, he was away from the ground for about a year due to injury. It took him four months to get fitness after being injured on Australia tour in January.

Pant and Gill are at the forefront of race

After Jaspreet Bumrah refuses, now the names of Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are being considered. Gill is the prominent batsman of the team and plays at number three. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant also has a strong record for India in Tests. According to the report, ‘India can now choose one of the Gill or Pant as its next Test captain. The selectors will talk about this next week.

Pant’s record in Tests powerful

Shubman Gill’s name was already in discussion, but many people are surprised to hear Pant’s name. However, Pant’s performance in Test cricket has been excellent. He has won the team in many difficult matches. Pant is struggling with form in recent times. He is fully failing in IPL 2025. Along with this, during Australia, no one was able to do great wonders. He played many poor shots in the Australia series, for which he was criticized a lot.
