From the aggressive thinking of Sourav Ganguly to the calm captaincy of MS Dhoni and the fiery passion of Virat Kohli, Indian cricket has seen captains who have left an indelible mark. Today we will tell you about those great batsmen of India who could never become the captain of the team-

1. Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh After India’s disappointing performance in the 2007 ODI World Cup, many thought that Yuvraj would be the captain of the young Indian team in the first T20 World Cup. The irony is that Yuvraj became the ‘Player of the Tournament’ in both the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, but he could never become the captain of the team.

2. Ravichandran Ashwin

He is considered one of the sharpest players in modern cricket. He showed excellent captaincy qualities in IPL and domestic cricket, but due to his place not being confirmed in the playing eleven of overseas Test matches during the Kohli-Shastri era, his chances of becoming the full-time captain of India were reduced.

3. Zaheer Khan

Former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan was considered the ‘mastermind’ of the Indian bowling attack for years. Despite Zaheer’s excellent tactical sense, he was never seriously considered for the top captaincy role, due to injuries to fast bowlers and concerns over his workload.

4. VVS Laxman

VVS Laxman, known for his ‘Very Special’ performance under pressure, was one of India’s finest Test batsmen. Whereas his limited participation in ODI cricket reduced his chances of being seen as a multi-format captaincy option.

5. Ravindra Jadeja

For over a decade, he has been one of India’s most valuable all-rounders. His contribution with bat, ball and fielding has made him a complete match-winner. However, with India’s focus turning towards young leaders after the Rohit Sharma era, Jadeja gradually fell out of the captaincy race, despite serving as vice-captain on several occasions.
