Shikhar Dhawan’s captaincy announcement sets twitter ablaze

There appears to be a leadership crisis in the Indian cricket team. Now that Virat Kohli has stepped down from the captaincy has caused some instability in the Indian cricket team. KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya have all previously captained India this year, despite Rohit Sharma’s full-time appointment as captain.

As per the recent developments, it has been revealed that Shikhar Dhawan will serve as the captain for the three-match One Day International tour to the West Indies. On the other hand, it has been told that Ravindra Jadeja will serve as his vice captain for ODI.

Rahul Dravid initially collaborated with Shikhar Dhawan during India’s tour of Sri Lanka last year, which he oversaw as interim captain. India lost the T20I series despite having a 2-1 advantage in the ODI series.

The unexpected choice of Shikhar Dhawan’s captaincy.

The choice of Dhawan as the ODI captain is unexpected because Rohit was anticipated to be featured in the series despite not having played much cricket since the Indian Premier League.

In terms of the Indian itinerary, Rohit Sharma will be participating in the white ball tour in England before leading India in the five-match T20 series against the West Indies later this month.

Although it had been previously stated that the senior players will be given some time to rest for the tour, but Rohit Sharma’s decision to skip it has surprised a lot of people. In reality, the team does not include Jasprit Bumrah or Virat Kohli. Let us look at the Indian squad for the ODI.

India’s squad for 3 ODIs: Shikhar Dhawan (Captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Ravindra Jadeja (vice-captain), Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohd Siraj, Arshdeep Singh.
