Will this player captain Team India instead of Jasprit Bumrah in place of Rohit Sharma?

After the clean sweep defeat against New Zealand, now the next challenge for Team India is the Australia tour. Team India has to play a five-match Test series against Australia, the first match of which will be on November 22. However, the big question before this series is who will take charge of Team India because it is difficult for Rohit Sharma to play in the first Test match. Rohit may be out of the first Test due to personal reasons. Jasprit Bumrah has been made the vice-captain for the Australia tour and it is believed that he will take charge of the team. But former Team India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that the command of the team should be handed over to Rishabh Pant.

Mohammad Kaif talked about making Pant the captain.

Mohammad Kaif said that from the current team, only Rishabh Pant is a big contender for the Test captaincy. According to Kaif, Pant deserves it because whenever Pant plays, he always keeps Team India on the front foot. Pant always tries to play a match-winning innings at any number. Pant has the ability to score runs in all kinds of conditions. Pant has scored runs in England, Australia, and South Africa. He has also scored runs on the turning pitches of India. Kaif described Pant as a complete batsman.

Jaspreet Bumrah is also a big contender.

Kaif talked about making Rishabh Pant the Test captain but he did not tell the real reason for this. However, Bumrah seems to be ahead in the race to become the captain before Pant. This is the reason why Bumrah has also been made the vice-captain for the tour. Bumrah has also led the team in a Test. If Rohit does not play in the first Test, then Bumrah can be seen taking over the captaincy. However, Kaif believes something else.

Kaif said that when Pant plays his last Test match, he will retire as a legend. There has been a tremendous improvement in his wicketkeeping. Kaif said that as long as Pant was on the crease, New Zealand was not getting any relief. According to Kaif, if you are looking for a future captain, then there is no better option than Pant.
