On Jasprit Bumrah As India's Long-Term Captaincy Option, Cheteshwar Pujara's 'Capability' Verdict
Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara has endorsed pace-ace Jasprit Bumrah as a viable long-term captaincy candidate for India, once Rohit Sharma steps down. Pujara's comments come in the wake of Bumrah's exemplary leadership during India's recent triumph against Australia, where he showcased his ability to lead under immense pressure.

Rohit Sharma To Bat At No. 5-6 vs Australia? Harbhajan Singh's Huge 'Best Interest' Verdict
Captain Rohit Sharma will either open or bat at number three in the Adelaide Test against Australia, reckoned former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Monday while ruling out the possibility of a senior star coming in at number five or six. KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal added a record 201 runs for the opening stand during the second innings of the Perth Test, which the visitors won by 295 runs with plenty of time left in the match. "I don't see Rohit coming in at number five or six. Either Rohit will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal, with KL Rahul coming in at number three, or he will bat no later than number three," Harbhajan told PTI on the sidelines of the inauguration of the World Tennis League here.
