(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) New Delhi: When Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain of team India, it was clear who was the next man in the race for captaincy. Virat Kohli was doing well and was getting ready to be the next captain of the Indian cricket team. During the Australian tour, Kohli was handed the responsibility of captaincy after Dhoni announced his sudden retirement from test cricket.
He took Indian cricket to new Heights with the team. He included himself in all formats of the game. Did the arrival of Kohli in 30 years, now even once the discussion has started to emphasize who will be the next player, who can take this place. While vice-captain Rohit Sharma is consistently performing well for the team, he could be the right candidate. But he is also around Kohli’s age.
Former Captain Sunil Gavaskar has a name that could become Deputy captain if he carries out his responsibilities. Gavaskar has named KL Rahul the captain of Kings XI Punjab, who can be roped into lead team India. Gavaskar told Sports, this is a great opportunity for KL Rahul to show that he can score runs when given the responsibility. Secondly, he can show that he is capable of captaincy and how he molds his team and tries to get better from them, then he can also be the vice-captain of the Indian team.
