Rohit Sharma: Nothing is going right in the Indian team at the moment. In the middle of the BGT, reports of rift between the players from the dressing room inside the team are coming out. The team has to play the ODI series against England before the Champions Trophy in February.
Due to the poor performance of captain Rohit Sharma, it is expected that not Rohit Sharma but some other player can be seen captaining in this series. So let's know who can be the captain of the team for this series-
Rohit Sharma may be out of the England series
The Indian team has to play a 3-match ODI series with England from February 6. Reports are coming that captain Rohit Sharma can be rested in this series or he can be dropped from the series due to his poor form. After this series, the team has to go to UAE for the Champions Trophy in which it is important for Rohit to come in form. This is the reason why he can be given rest after the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
This player can become the captain in the England series
If Rohit is out of the England series, then the command of the team will not be given to Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant or KL Rahul but Shreyas Iyer, who has scored 6 centuries in international cricket, can get his place. Let us tell you that the management can make Iyer the captain of ODI cricket for this series. Iyer is a great batsman in ODIs.
Along with this, Iyer has been the captain of KKR in IL and Iyer is also the captain of Mumbai in domestic List A cricket. Iyer recently won the domestic T20 league Syed Mushtaq Trophy, while he is also the captain of Mumbai in the 50-over tournament Vijay Hazare. The performance of the team under his captaincy is very good.
Team India may look something like this for the England series
Shreyas Iyer (captain), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
