Ravichandran Ashwin, former off -spinner of Team India, said that Jasprit Bumrah describes India’s Test captain. He also said that the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will create a gap of leadership in the Test team. It will be very difficult to fill.
Ashwin believes that Test cricket lost its brand ambassador with Kohli’s retirement. He hurried, 1-2 years of cricket left among them.
Bumrah captains
Ashwin said on his YouTube channel ‘Ash Ki Baat’, ‘India’s entire youth team will now go to the England tour. In which Bumrah will now be considered a senior player. I think they should get captaincy, they deserve to become a captain. However, selectors will decide only in view of their fitness.
Ashwin said that Jasprit Bumrah describes becoming a captain in the Test.
Experience cannot be purchased
Ashwin further said, ‘Rohit and Virat’s retirement will make a big gap of leadership in the Test team. You cannot buy experience, especially on difficult toughs like England, you will need experience. Virat’s energy and Rohit’s patience will be remembered.
I think Kohli had 1-2 year Test cricket and left. Rohit felt that he would definitely play till the England series, because his departure would make the captaincy gap in the team.
Ashwin said that the retirement of Rohit and Virat will create a leadership gap.
Best in Test in India for 10-12 years
Ashwin further said, ‘Test format for Team India has been the best for the last 10-12 years. Keeping the leadership in mind, Rohit had to play till the England series. If they had performed, they could continue to play further.
Rohit’s best was seen in England, when he won the team by scoring a century in 2021. Rahul and his opening always put us one step ahead. Rohit’s best was seen in the Test from 2019 to 2023. During this time, he also performed well in Australia.
Kohli Test brand ambassador
Ashwin further said, ‘To see Kohli in Test cricket is no less than the box office, he was the brand ambassador of Test cricket in many ways. Many of his important innings may not have won the team, but told their importance. Even after scoring 2 centuries in Adelaide, it was a shame for the team to win. He scored 74 runs in the first innings even while being all out at 36 in Century, Adelaide in Johannesburg. These were all his historical innings.
I do not know why both retired. Now difficult times are coming for Indian cricket. Gautam Gambhir era is now starting in the true sense. ,
Ashwin said that Virat Kohli was the brand ambassador of the Test.
