Top 3 Players Likely to Replace Rohit Sharma as India’s Test Captain

India captain Rohit Sharma has come under fire for his poor performance in yet another major final. India was defeated by Australia by 209 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. This was their fourth defeat in any major final as their quest for the championship continues.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma’s status as India’s Test captain appears to be secure for the time being, and he is set to lead the squad on the West Indies tour as well. However, the man is already 36 years old and may not be able to play for much longer, at least in the red-ball style. India will need to find a long-term replacement, and there are a few players who potentially take his place at the head.

Top 3 Players to Replace Rohit Sharma

3. Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin may not have made India’s playing XI for the WTC final, but his talent on the cricket pitch is undeniable. Ashwin, one of India’s most renowned spinners, has been the team’s most important match-winner in recent years in Tests. He may not be a long-term leadership candidate, but he may be a perfect guy for at least the next two years.

His expertise will undoubtedly benefit India in the game’s most prolonged format. Furthermore, Ashwin’s selection may provide the Indian team management with much-needed time to nurture the future Test skipper.
