The wait is almost over. With Rohit Sharma stepping away from Test cricket, the biggest mystery in Indian cricket is finally about to be solved—the name of Team India’s new Test captain.
The official announcement will be made on May 24, as head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar are set to jointly address the media. The duo will reveal the name of the player who will lead India into a new red-ball era.
Who’s in the Race?While the BCCI has kept things under wraps, three names are dominating the conversation:
- Shubman Gill – Touted as the future of Indian cricket, his calm temperament and recent form make him a top contender.
- Rishabh Pant – Back from injury and bursting with energy, Pant’s aggressive style could inject fresh life into India’s Test squad.
- Jasprit Bumrah – Already vice-captain at times, Bumrah’s leadership and consistency offer a strong case.
This date is crucial. Not only will it end months of speculation, but it also comes just in time for team selection ahead of India’s five-Test tour of England, which kicks off on June 20—the beginning of the next World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
All Eyes on the Big RevealEvery cricket expert and fan has had a say in who should take the mantle. Now, the debates will give way to certainty. On Saturday, May 24, India will know who’s been trusted to lead the Test side into a new chapter.
Will it be the calm of Gill, the fire of Pant, or the poise of Bumrah?
We’ll find out soon.
