‘Jasprit Bumrah doesn’t put pressure on teammates…': Gavaskar backs him to replace Rohit Sharma as Test captain
Rohit Sharma's decision to sit out of the final match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was a hugely consequential choice for the future of the Indian cricket team. Sunil Gavaskar backed Jasprit Bumrah to take over as India's Test match captain. With Jasprit Bumrah coming in as an emergency captain in the first Test in Perth and again in Sydney for the final Test, India's talismanic pace bowlers has been backed by Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar to take over the role on a permanent basis in the near future. Rohit's Test cricket future Reflecting on Bumrah's captaincy effort as well as his ability to balance his marshalling of troops with maintaining his own quality with ball, Gavaskar said "I think he was absolutely brilliant, and I won't be surprised if he takes over very soon."
