After Rohit Sharma's departure, many players are eager for the leader's role despite the presence of multiple seniors in the team. 

 

Indian media has reported that the search for a strong candidate for captaincy is in full swing, but no decision has been made regarding his future yet. 

 

Jasprit Bumrah captained the team in Rohit's absence during the first match, but after Rohit's departure, many players in the dressing room were eager for the  leader role. Bumrah is unlikely to be given the captaincy after Rohit Sharma's retirement. 

 

However, the Indian Express revealed in its report that a certain player on the team proposed an "interim captaincy", calling him 'Mr. Fix It' so that the current situation and the dressing room atmosphere can be controlled.

 

However, the report did not mention who the candidate for the interim captaincy is, but is considered to be among the senior players on the team.

 

The team's young candidates are not very impressed with the player who has shown ambitions for captaincy.

 

On the other hand, Bumrah may be the only choice for long-term Test captaincy, but Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are also seen as favourites for the captaincy.
