These 3 players are ready to snatch the Test captaincy from Rohit Sharma, one is considered to be Dhoni's successor.

3 players who can replace Rohit Sharma as test captain: Indian Test team captain Rohit Sharma is becoming a victim of criticism. Team India has lost two consecutive Tests against New Zealand at home. The Kiwi team has won the three-match Test series. After 12 years, India has faced defeat in a Test series at home. Now many questions are being raised regarding the captaincy of 37-year-old Rohit. In the meantime, let us know which three players are claiming to become the next Test captain in place of Rohit.

#3 Shreyas Iyer

29-year-old Iyer started Test cricket by scoring a century against New Zealand. However, due to not agreeing to some things of the board, he has been thrown out of the central contract. It is not impossible for Iyer to return. Iyer also recently scored a century in the Ranji Trophy.

Iyer has good captaincy experience and has been a successful captain. Along with Rohit's captaincy, questions also arise on his place in the team. In such a situation, Iyer's return is also possible. Considering Iyer's availability for a long time, he can be an option for captaincy.

#2 Jasprit Bumrah

At present, Bumrah is the vice-captain of the Indian Test team, which means that he will be seen captaining in the absence of the captain. Bumrah also captained the Indian Test team in England in July 2022. Apart from this, he can also be seen captaining in at least one match during the upcoming Australia tour.

30-year-old Bumrah has been playing international cricket continuously for the last eight years and has been very successful in all three formats. Bumrah can be made the captain because Pat Cummins has shown that fast bowlers can also become a good and successful captain.

#1 Rishabh Pant

Pant has been expected to get the captaincy of India for a long time. However, till now he is not getting this opportunity. At present, Pant is India's first choice as a wicketkeeper batsman in Tests. Pant, who was out of the team for more than a year, got a place in the playing eleven directly as soon as he became fit. This shows how important he is to the team.

Pant has been continuously captaining in domestic cricket and is considered very close to former captain MS Dhoni. In batting, Pant has proved himself in Tests. Even after getting the captaincy, he can create a stir.
