Jasprit Bumrah Lost Test Captaincy Race Due To "Hardik Pandya Yardstick", New Candidate Emerges
As the Test captaincy transition in the Indian team keeps everyone guessing, plenty of opinions have surfaced on the candidates, primarily Jasprit Bumrah and Shubman Gill. Bumrah looked like the natural successor as Rohit Sharma said goodbye to the format but those in the know, feel Gill is being considered as a better canddiate due to the pacer's workload issue and injury troubles. Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, sharing his opinion on the Test captaincy situation, feels Bumrah lost No. 1 Test captaincy candidate spot because of the same reason that saw Hardik Pandya being overlooked for India's T20I captaincy -- injuries and workload.
