Who Will Captain India For The Next T20-World Cups
Despite 2 back-to-back World Cups on the horizon, Gavaskar believes Sharma will be the Indian skipper for both events.
“I think Rohit Sharma (as captain) for the next two World Cups. You could say they (World Cups) are back-to-back, one starting in a month and another exactly a year from now. So clearly, yes, you don’t want to change too many captains at this particular stage. Rohit Sharma would definitely be my choice for the captaincy of the Indian team for both these T20 World Cups,” said Sunil Gavaskar.
