Mumbai: The coronation of Rohit Sharma in place of Virat Kohli as India’s captain across all three formats is complete. As expected, India’s chief selector Chetan Sharma on Saturday named Rohit as India’s new Test captain — weeks after Kohli resigned following the series defeat in South Africa — while announcing the squads for the three T20Is against Sri Lanka and the two-Test series, against the same team, at home next month.
The star opener was given the white-ball captaincy just a couple of months back. Sharma said that he considered Rohit Sharma the “No. 1 cricketer” in the country, making it clear that the batsman will lead the team when fit.
Pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be Rohit’s deputy in both the T20I and Test series. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Bumrah will be groomed as future captains under the 34-year-old’s leadership, according to Chetan Sharma.
The selectors have finally run out of patience with the struggling Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, whose poor form played a big part in India losing the Test series in South Africa. Both the senior batsmen have been dropped, along with two other veteran players in wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha and pacer Ishant Sharma.
