3 Players who can replace Virat Kohli as next India skipper
Kohli has been one of India's most successful skippers across formats.
3. KL Rahul
Unlike Rohit and Rahane, Rahul doesn’t have the experience of leading India at the highest level. But the fact that he has a decent cricketing brain can’t be denied. Of late, he also showed flexibility of batting at different slots in the lineup.
In recent times, the 27-year-old also has taken over as the wicketkeeper in ODIs and T20Is after Rishabh Pant injured himself in the series against Australia. The management was happy with Rahul to such an extent that he was persisted with as the keeper even for the New Zealand tour.
