Make Jaspreet Bumrah captain

Lalchand Rajput said, “Jaspreet Bumrah also captained the last Test championship, perhaps against England. I believe that India’s team is quite young and Jaspreet Bumrah is one of the senior players of this team. He has shown better in the role of captaincy.”

He said that Jaspreet Bumrah should be made captain on the tour of England, in that case the responsibility of vice -captain should be entrusted in the hands of Shubman Gill. Lalchand Rajput believes that Gill will learn a lot while the vice -captain, which will help him become a good captain in the future.

Virat Kohli is also in discussion
