Pant or Jaiswal: Who Will Be The New Test Captain?

The weekend in Mumbai saw a heated debate in the BCCI over Rohit Sharma's successor. While he has agreed to remain as ODI captain till the Champions Trophy, the question of a new leader is already being actively discussed.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir is pushing for promising youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal, while the Ajit Agarkar-led committee is backing Rishabh Pant. Pant has experience as a captain in T20Is, while Jaiswal is seen as a future star.

However, there is another contender - Jasprit Bumrah. However, due to his intense workload, the committee is stressing the importance of strong support from the vice-captains.

The BCCI seems to be moving away from the three-captain format, opting instead for an all-round approach similar to Australia's. Ahead is the search for the perfect balance between experience and new talents.
