Shastri explains why Bumrah shouldn’t captain India: ‘Going to be difficult’
With Virat Kohli stepping down as India’s Test captain earlier this month, the search for a successor continues. While it is expected that Rohit Sharma may take over as captain in all three formats in India, the BCCI and the team management need to consider developing a young man as a future captain.
Among the names that have emerged as potential candidates are Rohit, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Not long ago, Jasprit Bumrah also threw his name in the hat, saying that if the opportunity came, he would love to have the chance to lead the Indian cricket team. Bumrah was named vice-captain of the India team at South Africa’s ODI, and in a recent press conference, the 28-year-old appeared to be interested in the prospect of leading India.
“If given the chance it would be an honour and I haven’t seen any player turn it down and I am no exception. With any leadership team I always want to contribute as much as I can,” Bumra said.
Former coach Ravi Shastri did not seem excited when weighing the possibility of Bumrah being the India captain. In a conversation with Shoaib Akhtar, when the former Pakistan striker asked Shastri if he had considered making Bumrah captain of any kind – possibly in T20Is, Shastri’s answer was straightforward.
“No, I never thought about it. In India, we’ve had enough. I never thought about it that way at the time. In India, it’s very difficult for a fast bowler to be a captain. A fast bowler captain has to be basically an all-rounder. , or he has to be a Bob Willis kind of captain, in the conditions they play, a fast bowler will always be in the game, he’ll be aggressive. He’ll be looking to win the game and get wickets. Very Few fast bowlers stay there for long. Unless he’s a true all-rounder like Kapil, Imran or Sir Garfield,” Shastri said on Akhtar’s YouTube channel.
Bumrah, who recently played all three Tests and ODIs in South Africa, is expected to rest for three ODIs and as many T20Is against West Indies from February 6.
