After Melbourne Test, India will get a new Test captain, Rohit Sharma will hand over the command to this veteran, not Bumrah.

Team India: The 5-match Test series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1 – 1. India won the first test under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah by a margin of 295 runs. But with the return of Rohit Sharma, Team India had to face defeat by 10 wickets in the second test and a draw in the third test. In such a situation, now some other player can be given command of the team in place of Rohit for the last two matches of the series –

Jasprit Bumrah will not get command

Veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been appointed captain of Team India for the Australia tour. He also captained the first match of the series in the absence of Rohit Sharma, in which India got a big victory. But the team management would like to avoid giving Jassi the captaincy again. Actually, Bumrah is in great form at the moment.

He is keeping India in this series by taking wickets continuously. In such a situation, if the burden of captaincy falls on him, his form may be affected.

This player will become the captain

In the Melbourne Test, powerful wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant can be given the captaincy of Team India in place of Rohit Sharma. He has shown consistent good performance in red ball cricket. Apart from this, he also has a lot of experience in captaincy. Apart from domestic cricket, he has led Delhi Capitals in IPL. In such a situation, if he shows good performance in Melbourne, he can also be made the permanent captain of the Test format.

This has been the performance

27-year-old Rishabh Pant has scored 2789 runs at an average of 42.25 in 71 innings of 41 Test matches played so far. During this period, he has also scored 6 centuries and 14 half-centuries. He has played many memorable innings on foreign soil including England and Australia. Apart from this, Rishabh has also played many matches for India in ODI and T20 formats.
