The race to succeed Rohit Sharma as India’s next Test captain is heating up ahead of the highly anticipated England tour, but the decision is far from settled, with a few names like Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and KL Rahul making rounds across social media.
Now, a Sky Sports News report claimed that the Indian selectors have had informal discussions with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant regarding the Test captaincy, but they have not yet made a decision despite the squad for the England tour being set to be announced this week.

While both contenders have been approached, sources revealed that the selection panel remains undecided on who will succeed Rohit Sharma as India’s Test captain.
