With Rohit Sharma testing positive for COVID-19, there are questions marks on who will lead India in the re-planned Test match against England, starting in Birmingham on July 1. A few names are doing the rounds to lead India, on the off chance that Rohit doesn’t recuperate in time for the match. India lead the series 2-1, which got slowed down halfway last year because of a COVID-19 episode in the Indian camp and, surprisingly, an attract the impending test will be enough for the side to enlist their fourth Test series win in England.
With Rohit’s availablity an issue, former Pakistan cricket crew spinner Danish Kaneria as of late discussed the choices that India needed to trade him for the top work in the vital Test match. In any case, he energetically went against Rishabh Pant’s name as a captaincy substitution.
“He isn’t even full grown to the point of being a skipper. Since Rohit is dicey for the Test match. We should see,” Danish Kaneria said in a video on his YouTube channel.
“At the point when we discuss captaincy, there are three-four names which are coming up and Virat Kohli’s name isn’t there. I was astonished that Kohli’s name has not been proposed. Gasp’s name is there, Jasprit Bumrah’s name is there. They could lead the group at Edgbaston. Since Cheteshwar Pujara has been playing for such a long time, he is the senior-most player in the group, he can lead the group in the event that Rohit Sharma isn’t there. The most ideal choice you have is Virat Kohli. You can make him the chief. Ravichandran Ashwin is another name which is coming up to be the commander is Rohit isn’t there.
“Kohli is one of the most incredible decisions as commander in the event that Rohit Sharma isn’t accessible. You likewise have Ashwin. Gasp was given the captaincy in the South Africa series and he made a horrendous showing. His own batting breakdowns when he does captaincy. Rishabh Pant ought not be the skipper any longer. Ravichandran Ashwin can be a decent decision. I figure the heap ought not be on Bumrah. he ought to focus on his bowling. It is Test cricket. I wouldn’t save Bumrah or Pant for captaincy.”
