Australian Test cricket team’s vice-captain Steve Smith recently shared his views on the captaincy of the Indian Test cricket team. Almost every member of the cricket universe would know by now that Virat Kohli has stepped down as the captain of the Indian Test cricket team. Kohli took this big decision after the ICC World Test Championship series against the South African cricket team, where the Indian cricket team lost by 1-2 scoreline.
Who will be the next captain of the Indian Test cricket team is a big debate topic these days. Some fans feel Rohit Sharma should become the new skipper because prior to the tour of South Africa, Sharma became the new vice-captain. So, in that way, their logic is correct. A few others opine that KL Rahul should become the captain because Sharma is not so young and has fitness issues. Some have even named Rishabh Pant as a candidate.
Steve Smith recently organized a Q and A session with his fans on Instagram, where a fan asked him who should become the next captain of the Indian Test cricket team. Here’s what Smith replied:
“Firstly, congratulations to Virat who’s led the Indian team superbly well for the last six or seven years. He has done a terrific job and looking forward I’d say probably Rohit (Sharma) or KL (Rahul) are the two favorites.”
