Rohit Sharma’s time as India’s Test captain is reportedly over, with the BCCI making the call not to include him in upcoming Test series. The BCCI’s decision to look beyond Sharma for the Test role is seen as a step toward fresh leadership. Sharma, despite his successful captaincy in limited-overs formats, has struggled with consistency in Tests, particularly during tours abroad.

Players like KL Rahul, who has captained India in some short stints, are now in the running to take over the leadership. The shift is also part of a broader plan to bring in a new era for India’s Test team, with an emphasis on youth development and leadership potential.
This transition is likely to help India build a strong foundation for the future, with leadership being handed over to players who can lead for the long haul, with a focus on performance both at home and overseas.
