Yuvraj Singh Picks His Favorite Player Who Could Become Future Indian Cricket Team Captain

Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh has suggested the name of Rishabh Pant as the future captain of the Indian cricket team.

After losing the World Test Championship title, there is a lot of discussion regarding the captaincy of the Indian cricket team.  Captain Virat Kohli had to face fierce criticism after the defeat in the WTC final as there were a few demands to remove him from his captaincy.

Under the leadership of Virat, India has not been able to win a single ICC title so far. However, under Kohli's captaincy, the national squad has registered many memorable victories.

The big question is, who will be given the command of the Indian team when Virat's international career gets over, like MS Dhoni.  On this, former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh has suggested the name of Rishabh Pant as the future captain of the Indian cricket team.

"I also see Rishabh as a potential Indian captain in the future. Because he is jumpy, chirpy, and talks around. But I feel he surely has a smart brain as well because I saw him when he was captaining in the IPL for Delhi Capitals. He did an incredible job. So, people should look at him as the next captain of the Indian team in the coming years," Yuvraj told TimesofIndia.com.

Rishabh Pant led Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021 after Shreyas Iyer had to sit out due to injury. Under Pant's captaincy Delhi won 6 out of 8 matches and remained at the top of the IPL 2021 Points Table until the tournament was postponed due to rising cases of Covid-19 inside IPL bubble.  

The extra responsibility of captaincy was not at all visible on Pant's batting as he scored 213 runs including two fifties. BCCI had decided to postpone IPL 2021 on May 4 after several players tested Covid-19 positive.  The remaining 31 matches of the 14th season of the Indian Premier League are to be played in the UAE from September 19.
