KL RAHUL
KL Rahul made his India Test captaincy debut in the Johannesburg Test match and while India lost the Test, his leadership was both appreciated and criticized. Rahul will now be leading the Indian team in the three-ODI series against South Africa for the first time. He is definitely primed to take over Indian captaincy full-time in near future.
He has captaincy experience, leading Punjab Kings in IPL for two seasons, and is considered to be part of the leadership group of the Indian team. His good form with the bat and the fact that he is one of the few players who are first-picks in all three formats makes Rahul an ideal candidate to become India’s next Test captain.
