Gavaskar Wants Bumrah To Be Made Test Captain, Rubbishes Concerns Over Workload
Indian Premier League: As the national selectors ponder over a successor for Rohit Sharma, who quit captaincy and retired from Test cricket, batting legend and noted commentator Sunil Gavaskar has advised them to hand the captaincy to pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.
Bumrah is one of the front-runners, along with K.L. Rahul and Shubman Gill to take over the reins of the team from Rohit, but his fitness and workload as the spearhead of the Indian pace attack have been cited as major concerns, which have led to his breakdown midway through a series on several occasions in the past.
He captained India in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series a few months back but had to withdraw from the fifth Test in Sydney because of lower back problems. He underwent lengthy treatment and rehabilitation and returned to action only after the first few rounds of matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
