Sunil Gavaskar has explained why Jasprit Bumrah will become the next India captain after his performance during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against australia. Bumrah's captaincy received immense praise from all corners.

Bumrah finished the series with 32 wickets to his name. He bagged an average of 13.06 and was the first choice to claim the Player of the Series award.

Legend Sunil Gavaskar has backed star bowler Jasprit Bumrah as a future captain of the Indian Test team. This comes after Bumrah's phenomenal showing in the recently-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, where he took 32 wickets from five matches and was declared Player of the Series.

India's 3-1 series loss to Australia in the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy put Rohit Sharma under the spotlight, particularly after he chose to sit out the fifth Test. Adam Gilchrist stirred the pot by hinting at Virat Kohli's potential return as captain.

Consecutive Test series losses against New Zealand and Australia have only enlarged the magnitude of question marks on what lies ahead for India in the longest format. A continual lean patch for the incumbent full-time skipper as well as the results have amplified the urgency for some important decisions to be made in the near future.

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that Jasprit Bumrah is not the right fit for Test captaincy after Rohit Sharma. He wants a batter to be India's new captain.
