Virat Kohli is reportedly interested in leading the India National Cricket Team in the upcoming five-match Test series in England. However, the BCCI and the Indian selectors are not going to entertain the “senior player’s” desire, as they are very clear about grooming a young talent like Shubman Gill.
There’s growing talk about Rohit Sharma’s future as India’s Test captain. While Rohit has shown interest in leading the team on the England tour, nothing has been confirmed yet.
