Rohit Sharma should be India's captain for next two T20 World Cups and KL Rahul vice-captain: Sunil Gavaskar

Batting great Sunil Gavaskar believes Rohit Sharma should be India's captain in the next two T20 World Cups. Notably, Virat Kohli will be stepping down as India's T20 captain after the T20 World Cup.

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has picked Rohit Sharma to succeed Virat Kohli as the India captain in the shortest format of the game for the next two T20 World Cup. Rohit has been Kohli's white-ball deputy since 2017 and is likely to take over the charge in the shortest format as Virat Kohli announced that he will step down as T20 captain after the upcoming T20 World Cup in the UAE.

Gavaskar stated on the Star Sports show 'Cricket Connected' that Rohit would be his preference to head Team India in the T20 World Cup in 2022. "Definitely, Rohit Sharma for the next World Cup. With World Cups back-to-back, you don't want too many changes in the captaincy," Gavaskar said.
