The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is an opportunity to unearth a solid future captain for the Indian cricket team, former national team head coach Ravi Shastri said on Tuesday.
From Rishabh Pant to Shreyas Iyer, the upcoming tournament could be mostly about unearthing the next generation of leaders for the Indian team. He said, however, that current India skipper Rohit Sharma is doing an outstanding job, having replaced Virat Kohli in all formats over the last few months.
Virat is not being captain anymore, but Rohit has also been outstanding especially in white ball. India will be looking at who will be captaining the team (in future) — there is Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul.
India will be looking for a solid captain for the future and here is the opportunity, Shastri said on Tuesday during a press conference organised by Star Sports, the official broadcaster of IPL 2022.
… That is the beauty of the IPL, last IPL we saw Venkatesh Iyer, no one had heard of him and by the time it got over he was in Indian team. So you expect the unexpected.
