 "I myself want to captain for a few more months… Rohit Sharma requests BCCI – Reports, I myself want to captain for a few more months… Rohit Sharma requests BCCI")
For the past few months, there has been a continuous discussion about Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team. In the first and last match of the Test series played in Australia, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took over the command of the team. After keeping himself out of the playing eleven in the Sydney Test, the talk of his retirement began to surface, which Rohit Sharma himself brought forward and termed it as a rumour. Now there is news that he has expressed his desire to remain the captain for a few more days. Jasprit Bumrah was named as the next captain in BCCI’s review meeting.
Rohit Sharma has expressed his desire to remain India’s captain for a few more months and has asked the board to look for a new captain in the meantime. Whichever name is put forward will get full support. According to a report in Dainik Jagran, on Sunday, January 12, Rohit held a review meeting of the Australia tour with BCCI officials in Mumbai, including India head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
According to the report, during the meeting, 37-year-old Rohit gave India the T20 World Cup title in 2024. He expressed his desire to remain the captain for a few more months. During the meeting, the name of star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was proposed as Rohit’s successor. Questions are being raised about the fitness of Bumrah, who was injured in the Sydney Test. These days he is suffering from a back injury, due to which his long-term captaincy of India is in doubt.
