Mahendra Singh Dhoni! A man who is synonym for CAPTAINSHIP not just in India, but across the GLOBE.
As the legend puts a final full stop to his captainship career just before the start of the IPL Season, gives us more reasons than ever before to look for a successor in Captainship post the Rohit ERA & Dhoni ERA.
The reason for that is not just MSD’s 3 Titles for India, 6 titles for CSK & Rohit’s 5 IPL titles & 1 ASIA cup with India, but rather their man management skills which makes them stand apart from the rest of the leaders.
As we begin the 2022 Edition of the Tata Indian premier league, For the first time ever we would see 5 NEW CAPTAINS! YES, you heard that right, 5 captains who have never captained an International side before. This is not just an opportunity for them to prove their metal in IPL but also a shot for them to Rohit’s successor once he retires from hands up Captainship shoes. Of course, We are looking at a scenario 2 Years down the line, Maybe post the 2023 Cricket WORLD CUP.
Mayank, Shreyas, Hardik, Jadeja & Rishabh Pant who are pretty inexperienced in leadership role and would be auditioning for Indian Captainship in the near future. Among the players running for the Captainship race, Hardik, Mayank & Jadeja have never ever captained for their State team either.
It would be interesting to see how the New captains shape up and who would go the distance in this IPL to become the top contestant for Indian cricket team Captainship.
Let us know your thoughts and who do you think should be the next Indian Captain post Rohit Sharma ?
