After Virat Kohli announced that he won’t continue as the skipper in the shortest format after the T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in UAE and Oman in October-November, BCCI is yet to name India’s new T20I captain. Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar believes Rohit Sharma should be India’s captain in the next two T20 World Cups.
According to the reports, India’s limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma is likely to take over from Kohli after this World Cup but Gavaskar believes the Mumbai opener should take over from this T20 World Cup and remain in the position at least till the next edition of the tournament in Australia next year.
Gavaskar said “I think Rohit Sharma (as captain) for the next two World Cups. You could say they (World Cups) are back-to-back, one starting in a month and another exactly a year from now. So clearly, yes, you don’t want to change too many captains at this particular stage. Rohit Sharma would definitely be my choice for the captaincy of the Indian team for both these T20 World Cups.”
India were officially the hosts of the upcoming edition of the World Cup, which will now be held in the UAE and Oman due to the Covid-19 situation in India. The 2020 edition of the T20 World Cup in Australia, which was cancelled due to the global pandemic, is slated to be played next year.
