I won't be surprised if Virat Kohli captains Test team again: Adam Gilchrist

India Today  

Legendary Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist has voiced concerns about Jasprit Bumrah becoming India's full-time Test captain, citing workload challenges. While expressing doubts about Rohit Sharma’s future in the format, Gilchrist said he wouldn't be surprised if Virat Kohli agrees to take up the leadership role in the longest format of the game. Jasprit Bumrah, who led India to a win in Perth and captained the team in Sydney during Rohit Sharma's absence, is the designated vice-captain and a strong candidate for the full-time role. Virat Kohli, India's most successful Test captain, quit from the role after India's tour of South Africa in 2022, citing workload concerns.
