As BCCI is under pressure to look for a new captain because of the constant failure as a captain and also the underperformance of Rohit Sharma as a batter in the recent past, KL Rahul was given a chance to prove his form and captaincy skills. Even KL Rahul isn’t with a great touch with batting at present. Hence it is evident that BCCI should move to other senior prospects who can lead the side. There is speculation that BCCI is willing to appoint Hardik Pandya as a captain. Will Hardik Pandya be the right prospect to lead India in ODIs and T20Is moving forward?
