Former Indian Fast Bowler World Champion Madan Lal said Thursday he didn’t expect any discussion of who will lead India after Virat Kohli resigns as captain of the T20I, saying Rohit Sharma was an obvious choice for the role.
Madan Lal, who is also the head of the Cricket Advisory Committee, said Rohit Sharma’s experience of leading the Mumbai Indians to up to 5 Indian Premier League titles will come in handy when he becomes India’s next T20I captain .
Virat Kohli announced on Thursday that he will resign as T20I captain of India after the upcoming T20 World Cup from October 17th in Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Kohli claimed that he will continue to lead India on ODIs and testing.
However, Madan Lal believes that if Rohit Sharma gets the opportunity to lead the T20I team and does well, the selection may also speak of his name for the ODI captaincy.
“I don’t think there will be any discussion of someone else’s name because I think Rohit Sharma will become the T20I captain. His accomplishments in the IPL as captain of the Mumbai Indians have been very good. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has over.” Speaking of the roadmap, if Rohit Sharma was the deputy captain, he has a lot of experience as Kohli’s deputy, ”Madan Lal told AajTak.

“I don’t think there will be any discussion about that. But we have to see if voters will debate a captain over 50. So far, Virat Kohli has performed well in ODIs and tests. He has not won an ICC.” Title but won to build strong banking power.
“It depends on how Rohit Sharma does. If he does well in the T20 World Cup (next year) there will be a discussion about him in the selection session. It is possible that if he does well, he will be the captain.” the 50-over format. “
Rohit Sharma has led India to the Asian Cup title in the T20 format in the past. The Mumbai Indians captain has a solid record as captain in the shortest format of the game, winning 15 of 19 T20Is as India’s captain. Rohit had taken on the role in Kohli’s absence in the past.
Split captain is the way forward: Sunil Gavaskar
In the meantime, the hard-hitting Sunil Gavaskar told AajTak that he believed that a shared captaincy could be the way forward for India.
India has had split captains in the past, with MS Dhoni leading the limited overs crew between 2014 and 2017 after pulling out of the tests. Kohli led the test team during that period before taking over as all-format captain after Dhoni’s resignation in 2017. Dhoni continued to play under Kohli’s leadership until he retired from international cricket in 2020.
“When I read the resignation letter, he himself mentioned that he had discussed it with Rohit Sharma, Ravi Shastri, Sourav Ganguly, Jay Shah and the voters. Only after all this did he make the decision. It seems like a personal decision has discussed it with everyone, “said Gavaskar.
“But there have been a lot of rumors over the past 6 months. These would have given him an indication that the BCCI and the selectors weren’t happy. I think he must have thought of leaving the captaincy and handing it over to someone else.
“It seems that a split captainry might be the way to go. In his announcement he said he will continue to lead ODIs. So it’s his decision, not the voter’s decision, I think. A decision will be made, whether he will lead. ” in white ball cricket. When it comes to testing, there is no doubt that Kohli should move on. There is no doubt about its test capacity. But for ODIs it remains to be seen whether the selection committee will discuss it. “
Kohli leads India for the first time in the T20 World Cup in October-November. India begins its campaign against Pakistan on October 24th in Dubai.
