‘I don’t want Jasprit Bumrah to be made by the captain’: Ravi Shastri Bomb Drops | Cricket News

New Delhi: Former Indian cricket player and former head coach Ravi Shastri defended an forward -looking approach to choosing India’s next test captain after Rohit Sharma retired from the format. Rohit recently moved away from the test jack, but he confirmed that he would continue to play ODI. He retired from T20 International after he took India to the 2024 T20 World Cup on the West Indian Islands.Speaking in the ICC review, Shastri shared his perspective on the ongoing discussion surrounding his empty test captain.In a speech with the host Sanjana Ganesan, Shastri emphasized the need for a future mentality and advised Jasprit Bumrah against India’s tempo with leadership tasks.“See for me, Jasprit would be an obvious choice after Australia,” Shastri said.“But I don’t want Jasprit to make the captain and then you lose him as a melon.”Shastri emphasized Bumrah’s last war with his back injury in the last Border-Gavaskar cup match in Sydney. The injury kidnapped him for almost three months from January to April, and forced him to the victorious ICC champions Trophy 2025 campaign.“I think (Bumrah) has to get a game every time.“He will play the IPL jack with more than four crickets.

Instead of putting extra responsibility to Bumrah, Shastri supported Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant as appropriate candidates for test captain and emphasized the importance of age and longevity.“I can say that Shubman looks very good with one groom. Give him the opportunity. 25, 26 years old, even give him time,” he said.“There is also Rishabh.Shastri also pointed out that when Rohit and Virat Kohli recently moved away from the test format, the team should look forward and support the case further for Gill or Pant.Both players come with the leadership experience that seizes IPL franchisees – Gujarat Titans and Gill and Delhi Capitals and Pant.“They have experience as a captain, now they take over their franchisees and this makes a difference,” Shastri said.“The little I saw Shubman looks very interesting. Composed, calm, having all the qualities, Shastri said, ICC ODI praised the temperament of the highest level dough in the ranking of the player.Shastri, who handled concerns about Gill’s performance abroad, clearly rejected criticism.

“You people will talk that you do not get points abroad. You know, this issue is always coming, does not get points abroad,” he said.“Sometimes I tell them, go and see your own registration, how much have you done abroad? Play abroad, abroad, abroad, let him run abroad, then get a run. He is a class player.”Gill, who served as Vice President in India’s ODIs, seized the national side in a T20I series in Zimbabve. India won the 4-1 series, Gill’s 170 runs during five inning at a rate of 125.92 strikes, including 66 points in the third T20i, a match won with 23 runs.“There is a ten -year cricket for the country, Shastri said Shastri.“And I’m sure it will crack in one of the tours, compensate for all the runs that he has never done before.”
