Rohit Sharma is the captain of Team India in all three formats. He was elected as the T20I skipper in November 2021, when Virat Kohli stepped down as the captain in the shortest format. Later, he was also promoted to ODI and Test captainship. However, Rohit Sharma failed to drive the team to victory in Asia Cup 2022, ICC T20 World Cup 2022, and ICC WTC Final 2023.

Moreover, Rohit Sharma is not fit enough to lead India in all formats, as this responsibility put a lot of workload on any player. He has missed many games and series due to fitness issues after taking up the leader’s hat. However, there are few Indian players who can lead the team in all three formats. Here we discuss 5 players who can be India’s all-format captains.

5. Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill is the first player on this list. Gill has elevated himself as the confirmed opener for India in all three formats since the start of this year. Due to his consistent performance in international cricket at the young age of 23 years, many have perceived him as the next Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli for Indian cricket.

Gill has already shattered centuries in all three formats along with a double ton in the 50-over format. He is a rising star in Indian cricket and such a powerful batsman can definitely lead the team in all formats.
