"Gautam Gambhir Most Important": After Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's Retirement Verdict Out On Indian Dressing Room

With the veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli leaving the Test format, India now face a huge challenge to fill the void left by the two players. The team will get a replacement in batting but the overall impact that the two players bought together might not be matched anytime soon. Both Rohit and Virat brought in a huge experience with themselves of late, alongside their superb batting and on-field tactics that helped the team prosper over the years. With the duo not being part of the Test side anymore, the focus now shifts to the Indian captain that is yet to be named in the format and head coach Gautam Gambhir, who will be having a huge task of leading a lesser experienced side.

Jasprit Bumrah's Huge Decision As India's Test Captaincy Race Heats Up After Rohit Sharma's Retirement: Report

Jasprit Bumrah has reportedly taken himself out of the running to become India's next Test captain, according to Sky Sports News. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant have now emerged as the top candidates to replace Rohit Sharma, who announced his retirement from Test cricket recently. Although Bumrah was widely seen as the favourite for the role, he is understood to have informed the selectors that he cannot commit to playing all five matches in long Test series because of workload concerns.

Shubman Gill Set To Lead India In Tests, Claims Report. Says Vice-Captain Will Be...

Flamboyant keeper-batter Rishabh Pant, in all likelihood, will be India's new vice-captain in Tests with talented batter Shubman Gill set to take charge of the national team in the traditional format. The choice of vice-captain seems to be a straight forward one as Pant is one of India' finest Test batters in overseas conditions and Jasprit Bumrah can't be considered for the role of deputy due to his stature and also when his own fitness is iffy, making him uncertain for full series. An average of 42 plus with hundreds in Australia, England and South Africa along with seven scores between 90 and 99 makes Pant of the best batters in the format.
