The first two years of this decade, 2021 and 2022, were shocking years for Team India’s leadership. Virat Kohli stepped down as Team India captain post humiliating exit in ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Later, Rohit Sharma was made the skipper in all three formats. However, under his captainship last year, India failed to win two premier tournaments- Asia Cup 2022 and ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

While Rohit Sharma has done a good job in bilateral series as Team India captain, he has already reached 35 years of age. After a few years, he will be at the climax of his international career and Team India will need a new captain. The next decade will start after 7 years and there are many youngsters in the current team who can be formidable skippers in future. Here we discuss 5 Indian players who can captain Team India in the next decade.
