Who steps in as India’s interim captain if Rohit retires?

It is learnt that the team management views Rishabh Pant as a key batter and keeper in Tests, while they see Gill as a player to drive India`s future

Gill, who led India`s ODI team earlier this year, was recently dropped from Test side due to his form, but can make his way into the squad in Rohit`s absence

Virat Kohli is India`s most successful Test captain, winning 40 of the 68 Tests he has led, making a significant impact on the team`s success

Rising discontent has sparked concerns over Rohit Sharma`s future as Test captain and questioned head coach Gambhir`s ability to manage the team effectively

India won their first Test in the last seven matches in Perth under Bumrah’s leadership while Rohit was away due to birth of his second child

Bumrah has assumed the role of India`s knight in shining armour more often than not, having taken record 30 wickets in 4 Tests against Australia in this series

Reports have suggested growing unrest in the Indian dressing room, highlighting rising tensions within the team amid the ongoing series against Australia
