BCCI can appoint these two players captain instead of Jasprit Bumrah due to Rohit Sharma's retirement

Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team captain, has left everyone speechless with a surprise retirement from Test cricket at a point when Team India has to engage in a five-match Test series on the tour of England immediately after the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. This is not only a huge disappointment for cricket lovers but has become a point of concern for the team management as well since they need to appoint a new Test captain at the soonest.

The team has vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah for Test captaincy. But according to some media reports, the selectors do not want to make Bumrah the captain due to fitness issues and workload management. They want a young player to become the captain available to play all the series matches. In such a situation, two contenders are being told for this.

According to reports, the selectors want to give this responsibility to young batsman Shubman Gill. Let us tell you that Gill is also the vice-captain of the ODI team at this time and has consistently emerged as a rising star in Indian cricket. According to the report, playing Jasprit Bumrah in all five matches of the England Test series is impossible. The BCCI can give him rest in some matches keeping in mind the workload management. In such a situation, the team needs to choose a captain who plays the entire series.
