New Delhi:
Rohit Sharma’s future is at stake after the crushing defeat at the hands of Australia, while now the discussion about the next captain has started in full swing. In such a situation, the great Sunil Gavaskar, impressed by the leadership ability of Jasprit Bumrah, has said that this fast bowler, who performed brilliantly in BGT, will captain the Indian Test team after Rohit Sharma. Bumrah took 32 wickets in five matches on the Australia tour. This is the best performance by a foreign fast bowler in Australia. Under the captaincy of Bumrah, the team had won the opening match of this series played in Perth.

Gavaskar said in a conversation with a channel, “He (Bumrah) can be the next captain of the team. He leads the team with responsibility, his image is very good. He has the qualities of a captain and he is not that kind of person.” So put unnecessary pressure on you.”

This former Indian player said, “Sometimes you have captains who put a lot of pressure on you. Looking at Bumrah, it seems that he expects others to do what is their job. He is in the national team to do that work but does not put pressure on anyone for it.” Bumrah has been leading the Indian pace attack for the last few years. His guidance has helped players like Mohammed Siraj develop as a fast bowler.

He said, “He stands at mid-off, mid-on and his presence is beneficial for the fast bowlers. He is always ready to share his thoughts with the bowlers. I think he was absolutely brilliant and his “He plays the role very well. I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes the captain.”

Before getting injured in the middle of the first innings of Australia’s last Test played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Bumrah had taken his wickets at an average of 13.06 and an excellent strike rate of 28.37. In the absence of Bumrah, who was captaining this match, Australia achieved the target of 162 runs to win without much trouble.
