Is split captaincy good or bad in cricket?: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Team India should not appoint different captains for each format. It is reported that India may soon adopt split captaincy, that is, there will be different captains for Test, T20, and ODI formats. But Chopra argues that in cricket, having the same captain for a long time makes the team play better, whereas in sports like football, it is not necessary.
On his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that the captain has a valuable role in the game. In sports like football, the importance of the captain is less because the manager makes the strategy from outside, but in cricket, the captain has to make quick decisions on the field. This game is played with understanding and experience, which is why continuity in captaincy is necessary here.

He suggested that one captain can be kept for Tests and one captain for white ball (ODI + T20), but making a different captain for each format will increase confusion in the team. If there are different captains everywhere, then the players will have to adjust to a new strategy in every format, which can be difficult, and it can affect the performance of the team.

For example, Akash told that KL Rahul and Shubman Gill play Tests, but players like Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah who play all three formats, it will be difficult for them that every time they will have to change their plan according to their captain, which can cause difficulty in their rhythm, because it affects the game.
Currently, India has three captains: Rohit Sharma (ODI), Shubman Gill (Test), and Suryakumar Yadav (T20). According to reports, Rohit Sharma can retire from ODI cricket, so who will be the ODI captain of Team India? Do tell us your opinion by commenting.
