Former selector told this player the captaincy number-1 contender, Rishabh Pant's name also in the list

The Indian cricket team has come to play with different captains in the last few series in recent days. Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul have captained India since the Indian Premier League. The regular captain of the team is Rohit Sharma but he is not a part of the team in consecutive series. Former Indian selector Saba Karim has suggested the names of two future captains of the team.

Saba Karim on Sports18 said, "I think the selector has to decide whether he would like to captain the team to a player who plays in all three formats and if that is the case then you have a lot of options. First comes the name of KL Rahul, who plays in all three formats, Rishabh Pant at number two, who has shown amazing performance in the last few seasons. Now he is also in limited over format cricket. Has emerged as a very good player. So these are the only two options that come before you."

After IPL, Rishabh Pant captained the home series against South Africa. After this, on the tour of Ireland, Hardik Pandya was given command of Team India in T20. Shikhar Dhawan took over the captaincy of the team in ODIs against West Indies. At the same time, KL Rahul was seen captaining in the ODI series with Zimbabwe.

He further said, "But there are a lot of things that need to be considered. Firstly, how long can Rohit Sharma be your captain given the injury. So these are the things that you should keep in your mind. Do you need a young captain, if that is the case then you bring Rishabh Pant, because he is the kind of player who is going to play for you in all three formats in the times to come. These are some of the things that In the coming times, the selectors have to face while choosing the captain.
