JASPRIT BUMRAH

Jasprit Bumrah might be a left-field choice here, but he is seen as a potential leader by the Indian team management and even the BCCI national selectors. He was recently named the vice-captain of the Indian ODI team which will play three matches against South Africa where KL Rahul will captain the Indian team.

Bumrah is undoubtedly the leader of the Indian pace attack and has gained incredible experience playing under MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli in the Indian team, and Rohit Sharma in Mumbai Indians and he might make a very good captain. The only thing that might keep him from becoming captain will be the workload management issues, given that he already had a brush with a lower back stress injury.
