Bumrah designs captaincy- Ashwin: Said- Kohli Test brand ambassador, he had 2 years left of cricket

Former Team India off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that Jasprit Bumrah deserves to be India's Test captain. He also said that the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli would create a lack of leadership in the Test team. This will be very difficult to fill. Ashwin believes that with Kohli's retirement, Test Cricket has lost his brand ambassador. He retired in a hurry, because he still had 1-2 years of cricket. Bumrah is designed in his YouTube channel 'Ash Ki Baat', “Now a completely young Indian team will go on England tour.” In which Bumrah will now be considered a senior player. I think he should get a captaincy, he deserves to be a captain. However, the selectors will decide only after seeing their fitness. ' The experience cannot be purchased, Ashwin further said, 'Rohit and Virat's retirement test will create a major scope for leadership. You cannot buy experience, especially in difficult trips like England, will require experience. We will lose Virat's energy and Rohit's patience. I think there were 1-2 years left to play Test cricket in Kohli. I felt that Rohit would definitely play until the England series, because if he quit, there would be a big difference in the team's captaincy. ' India said in the Test for the last 10-12 years, saying, 'Test format has been the best for Team India for the last 10-12 years. In view of the leadership, Rohit also needed to play the England series. If he had performed, he could have continued to play. I saw Rohit's best performance in England, when he scored a century in 2021 and led the team to victory. Rahul and his opening always kept us a step further. Rohit's best performance was seen in the Test from 2019 to 2023. During this period, he also performed brilliantly in Australia. Kohli is the brand ambassador Ashwin said, “Seeing Kohli in Test cricket is no less than the box office, he was the brand ambassador of Test cricket in many ways. He may not have helped him win the team, but he showed his importance. It was a shame that the team could not win despite scoring 2 centuries in Adelaide. He scored a century in Johannesburg and scored 74 runs in the first innings when India were all out for 36 runs in Adelaide. All of this was his historical innings. I don't know why the two retired. Now there is a difficult time for Indian cricket. The Gautam Gambhir era is really starting. '
