Gill and Bumrah in race to succeed Rohit as Test captain
Khaleej Times
|May 09, 2025
Top order batter Shubman Gill and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah are locked in a two-horse race to be India's next Test captain following Rohit Sharma's exit.
-
Rohit, 38, was dropped from the fifth Test in Sydney earlier this year after a prolonged run drought, and announced his retirement from Test cricket on Wednesday.
Bumrah, who captained India in Perth where they registered their only victory of the Australia series, is a popular choice but doubts linger given the injury risk for fast bowlers.
Former India captain Anil Kumble would like to see Bumrah captain India in their tour of England in June-July-with Gill as his deputy.
