Sunil Gavaskar has explained why Jasprit Bumrah will become the next India captain after his performance during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against australia. Bumrah's captaincy received immense praise from all corners.

Jasprit Bumrah has consulted a NZ surgeon and will reportedly be a part of the squad. However, he will play only if he feels well after bowling again.

India's 3-1 series loss to Australia in the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy put Rohit Sharma under the spotlight, particularly after he chose to sit out the fifth Test. Adam Gilchrist stirred the pot by hinting at Virat Kohli's potential return as captain.

Consecutive Test series losses against New Zealand and Australia have only enlarged the magnitude of question marks on what lies ahead for India in the longest format. A continual lean patch for the incumbent full-time skipper as well as the results have amplified the urgency for some important decisions to be made in the near future.

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that Jasprit Bumrah is not the right fit for Test captaincy after Rohit Sharma. He wants a batter to be India's new captain.
