A seasoned Indian cricketer has expressed interest in taking over as the interim Test captain. With Rohit Sharma currently leading the team, India's performance in the format has been under scrutiny, showing a significant decline. Rohit may consider making a decision on his career following the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Team India's lackluster performance in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy could lead to significant changes within the squad and leadership group. Rohit Sharma's captaincy has come under scrutiny, especially as India risks missing the World Test Championship final. Adding to the pressure, Rohit has struggled with the bat, managing only 31 runs in the series so far.
According to a report by the Indian Express, a senior player is positioning himself as a potential 'Mr. Fix-it' and an interim captaincy candidate. The player reportedly doubts the capabilities of younger team members to take on leadership roles. While the report doesn't reveal the player's name, it suggests Rohit Sharma might evaluate his career decisions after the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Having debuted as a limited-overs captain in 2007 and as a Test player in 2013, Rohit's future remains a focal point amid this turbulent phase for Indian cricket.
The player eyeing the captaincy reportedly has reservations about some of the younger candidates in the team. As per the report, this senior player feels that certain youngsters still need significant development before they can step into leadership positions.
Indian Cricket fans guessed the player who is looking for the captaincy role on X.
