Who will be India’s next all-format captain after Rohit Sharma?

Check out 3 options who can replace Rohit Sharma as team India captain once the senior player hangs his boots from international cricket.

Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024 title under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. After winning the title, Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is. However, Rohit is still the captain of the ODI and Test team. Although Rohit has said he wants to play more, considering his age, Rohit is at the twilight of his cricket career.

Now the question arises: who will be India’s next all-format captain after Rohit Sharma? Let us check out 3 prominent options for Team India.

Who will replace Rohit Sharma as captain?

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has already replaced Rohit Sharma as captain in the T20 format. The right-handed batter is a prime contender in replacing Rohit Sharma as captain in the ODI format too. However, Surya needs to get himself established in the Test format too.

KL Rahul

The next option available with the Indian selection committee is KL Rahul. The right-handed opener was once the vice-captain of the team. In the IPL, he captained Punjab Kings and currently he is the skipper of the Lucknow Super Giants. Rahul has performed brilliantly with the bat when playing as a captain. His consistency levels have been top-notch, which makes him a prime contender for team India captaincy role.

Jasprit Bumrah

Just like Rahul and Surya, Jasprit Bumrah has also led team India. His ability to remain calm under pressure situations makes him an ideal candidate to lead the team. Bumrah is also the vice-captain of the side and will participate in the first match of the upcoming IND vs BAN Test series. Bumrah has lots of cricket left in him and he can surely take team India to new heights.
