BCCI Considers New Test Captain for Team India

With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and selectors considering a new Test captain, several candidates are being discussed for the prestigious role. Shubman Gill is seen as a strong frontrunner due to his consistent batting and reliability, making him a potential long-term leader for the Test squad. Other contenders include KL Rahul, whose experience and consistency at the top of the order strengthen his case, and Rishabh Pant, who brings dynamism but has less captaincy experience. Jasprit Bumrah, although a phenomenal bowler, is considered less likely because of concerns over workload management and the need to keep him fit for crucial tournaments. The idea of having three different captains for each cricket format is gaining traction as selectors weigh these options. These developments come amid broader discussions among fans and analysts regarding the future leadership of Team India.
