KL Rahul: Indian cricket team's wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul is currently participating in the Test series against India vs Bangladesh. KL Rahul, captain of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League, is also trying to make a comeback in T20 these days. However, it is very difficult for him to get a place in the T20 team. Whereas his place in the ODI team is confirmed.

KL Rahul can be made captain for the England series

KL Rahul may be appointed as the captain of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming ODI series between India and England.

Rahul has led the Indian team on many important occasions in the past and is known for his calm nature and efficient strategy. Rahul, who returned after injury, has proved his fitness and form, due to which Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar can make him the captain for the series against England.

Shreyas Iyer may get the role of captain

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL champion captain Shreyas Iyer can be made the vice-captain of Team India. Shreyas has shown during his captaincy in the IPL that he can stay calm even in difficult situations and is capable of taking strategic decisions.

In such a situation, head coach Gambhir can make him the captain. His consistency in batting and his patience in captaincy make him a strong candidate for the leadership of the team.

Rohit Sharma may get rest

Regular captain Rohit Sharma may be given rest before this series, so that he can fully prepare himself for the Champions Trophy to be played after this series. Rohit Sharma is an important player for the Indian team, and under his leadership the team has won many big matches. The selectors want Rohit to focus on his health and fitness without any pressure, so that he can be in his best form in a big tournament like the Champions Trophy.

In Rohit's absence, young and emerging leaders like KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will get a chance to guide the team, which can prove to be an important step for the future.
