Team India: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team could not make it to the final of the 2025 World Test Championship. This is the first time that Team India will not be seen in the final of WTC. The Indian team was making its place in the final of the World Test Championship for two consecutive times.
Due to Rohit's poor captaincy performance, there is talk of his removal from the captaincy and now the name of the next captain-vice-captain of Team India has also come to the fore. So let's know who can be seen handling this responsibility after Rohit.
Rohit Sharma can be removed from the captaincy
Let us tell you that Team India had to face a clean sweep from the New Zealand Test team at home for the first time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. At the same time, India has lost a Test series to Australia after 10 years. Also, Rohit's performance has not been good, due to which he can be removed from the captaincy.
According to recent information, he will not be the captain of India in the WTC 2025-27 cycle. But he will remain associated with the team as a batsman and in the meantime, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be seen handling the responsibility of captaincy.
Pant and Yashasvi can get responsibility
Actually, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been India's best Test batsmen in the last few years, due to which both can be given the responsibility of the team. If the recent report is to be believed, Pant can be made the captain. At the same time, Jaiswal can become the vice-captain. However, till it is not officially announced, it would be too early to say anything.

During this time, many star players can be seen playing from India, including Jaspreet Bumrah, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja.
