3 Players Who Can Replace Rohit Sharma As The Indian Vice-Captain In Limited Overs Cricket. Rohit Sharma is expected to become the next Indian leader in the shortest format as Virat Kohli had already announced that he will step down as captain in T20Is after the T20 World Cup 2021. Virat Kohli had mentioned that he wanted to reduce the workload on him as he is ageing now and Rohit Sharma being the vice-captain is the most probable captain of the Indian side after the big tournament.

They are looked into as future captains and here are 3 players who can replace Rohit Sharma as the Indian vice-captain in limited-overs cricket.

KL Rahul is one of the top contenders for the vice-captain of the Indian team in the limited-overs format as he can be very destructive, as well as his consistency has gone up in the ladder. The right-hander has been captaining the Punjab Kings side in the last two years and he has the experience at the moment.

Rahul understands the game well and he has been very good behind the wickets in ODIs as well which gets his priority up for the vice-captain slot. He has been playing with a lot of maturities and he should be able to cope up with the responsibility of the vice-captain of the Indian side. His performances in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 will also be taken into account.

Rishabh Pant made a surprising entry after having an excellent year of captaincy with the Delhi Capitals side that has put his name in the contender’s list. He has the ability to win games on his own and he has shown a lot of maturity with the bat since the test tour of Australia.

The wicket-keeper batsman did an excellent job after being handed over the captaincy this year and finished top of the table during the league stages. He has curbed his power-hitting abilities in the last few games and he should start sticking to his natural game which will be more effective. He has already shown that he could be in line for being the future captain of the Indian side.

Jasprit Bumrah:

Jasprit Bumrah has been one of India’s leading pacers in all the formats and he definitely needs a look into captaincy as well for the future. His consistency levels have been amazing and he is already among the best in the business going around at the moment.

Bumrah has a different perspective from all the players on the field and his creative thinking might yield good results if he can come into the captaincy aspect. Being a regular in all the formats for India, Bumrah should be able to cope up with the pressures of vice-captaincy as well and he is the second biggest match-winner for India after Virat Kohli in the current setup.
