Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has tipped Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant as his two candidates for India captaincy in the future.
Speaking on JioCinema’s new daily sports show Aakashvani, as quoted by News 18, Chopra said that he doesn’t think we would see a single captain in all formats just yet.
The former cricketer said he expects Sharma to be the captain of the Test team till the World Test Championship final and said he expects Pandya to take over as the skipper of the T20I team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
“I don’t think we will see a single captain for all formats just yet, I think those days are over. Rohit Sharma will be the Test team’s captain till the WTC, that’s not going to change – it is going to stay like that. Hardik Pandya is currently the captain in the T20 format, and I think he will continue to do so and in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, you will see Pandya be the captain of the Indian team,” he said on JioCInema’s new daily sports show Aakashvani.
“In One-Day cricket, Rohit Sharma will continue to be the captain till the World Cup. But I think in the long term, in terms of India’s captaincy, it will be Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. These are my two candidates for India’s captaincy in the future,”
