New Delhi: The Indian team will play a five -match Test series in England next month. Before this series, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and veteran batsman Virat Kohli have retired. After which, who will be the new captain, this question is going on in everyone’s mind. Regarding this, India’s fast bowler Ishant Sharma said that Jasprit Bumrah should be made captain for this tour.

India’s veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma said that the Indian team should be led by Jasprit Bumrah in the five -match Test series starting on June 20 and Shubman Gill should be made the captain only when Bumrah is not fit for five matches of this Test series.

Ishant Sharma told Bumrah first choice for captaincy

Ishant on Saturday said in response to a question on Star Sports Press Room that if Bumrah is fit, I would say that Bumrah. He is the first choice. They have so much experience. But if he does not play all the five Test matches, then Vishwamman Gill obviously. 31-year-old Bumrah has previously captained India in the first and fifth Tests of the fifth Test against England in 2022 and the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.

However, there is concern about his fitness. Jasprit Bumrah underwent back surgery two years ago. After leaving the field on the second day of the Sydney Test in January, he got away from international cricket and missed the important tournament like Champions Trophy. Twenty -five -year -old Gill has impressed the IPL as the captain of the Gujarat Titans, which has reached the top of the table this year.

What did Ishant say about Virat Kohli?

Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, reacting to which Ishant said that he is surprised by the decision, especially seeing his great fitness. Ishant said that he is mature. They know what he is doing. I did not talk to him after his retirement. But everyone knows that as long as you are playing, it is important to be as normal as possible. So I have friendship with Virat. We have never tried to impose anything.
