With the BCCI and chief selectors likely considering a new Test Captain, the possibility of having three different captains across formats is gaining traction. As fans and analysts speculate, several names are emerging as potential candidates for the prestigious role.
Here are four players who could be seen as the next Test Captain for Team India:
4. Jasprit Bumrah: While a phenomenal bowler, Jasprit Bumrah’s chances would have been the most of becoming Test Captain but now his chances seems appear slim.

Given his importance as India’s premier pacer and the need for workload management, especially with crucial ICC tournaments and major bilateral series on the horizon, keeping him fit is paramount. Burdening him with captaincy might not be a viable option.
3. KL Rahul: If consistency at the top of the order and leadership experience are key requirements, KL Rahul presents a strong case. Having played in various conditions and countries, he understands different match situations. His experience could be a valuable asset for the selectors.
2. Rishabh Pant: A dynamic presence in the team, Rishabh Pant is a strong contender. While young, his Test record is decent. However, in terms of captaincy experience, he might be slightly behind other options.

His consistent batting and reliability make him a player the team can depend on for the long term. Gill is a player on whom the selectors can build the future of the Test team.
