Of course both of them played a lot of cricket.  No one needs to tell Dravid that there will be ups and downs in the journey ahead.  Have lost hope.  Keep trying and we will move on, ”Tendulkar explained. India will now play the ODI-T20 series against the West Indies under both.  Rohit is back as captain. But Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya are not in the squad.  Both aim to smash the Windies and respond to criticism


India's New Test Captain: Who will be the captain of India's Test team?  Mohammad Shami said what was on his mind


New Delhi: The captaincy of the Team India Test team is vacant.  India will play a Test series against Sri Lanka.  Before that the hero will be announced.  After the series against South Africa, Rohit Sharma is likely to be replaced by Virat Kohli.  The names of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are also mentioned.  Meanwhile, Indian pacer Mohammad Shami is talking about who should be the Indian captain. Shami says whoever the hero is should be important for success.  "We need a captain who can lead the team.  India will take on Sri Lanka under a new captain.  That too in his own country.  It is a relief for India that the series is at home.  I'm not thinking about who will take over the captaincy.  I'm just thinking about how I can improve my bowling.  Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane are capable of leading.  No matter who the captain is, it is important for the team to win, ”said Shami.


Kohli vacated the captaincy after losing the Test series 2-1 to South Africa.  In Rohit's absence, KL Rahul led India in a Test.


But could not win.  Under Rahul, the ODI series ended in a complete defeat.  While Rahul's captaincy record is bad, Rohit may be drawn. IPL Mega Autcion: IPL Mega Star Auction: Aakash Chopra Predicts Warner's Future


Banglore: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has predicted the future of Australian opener David Warner, who captained Sunrisers Hyderabad last season in the IPL Mega Autcion in the second week of February.  "Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore are all looking for new captains for next season, but none of them will captain Warner," Aakash Chopra told YouTube. Warner, who captained the Sunrisers last season, was replaced during the season.  Kane Williamson replaced Warner in the Hyderabad captaincy following the team's successive defeats.  Warner, who later left the team, was often seen by fans in the gallery watching the match.


All three teams are looking for a new captain but Kolkata, Punjab and Bangalore are unlikely to captain Warner.  I don’t think any team would consider Warner for the captaincy position.  But it is certain that there will be teams at auction to acquire Warmer for a hefty sum.  But it’s just that no one will captain.  Because the IPL is a small family.  So everyone knows what happened last year.  Everyone knows the reason for it and the problems.  That and the problems it created between the team and the players, ”said Aakash Chopra. Aakash Chopra said it would be good if Bangalore got Warner as a player.  Chopra said the opening alliance between Virat Kohli and Warner would benefit the team.  Warner, who played eight matches for Hyderabad last season, managed just 195 runs.  For the first time in six seasons, Warner has scored less than 500 runs this season.  Warner faded in the IPL but was instrumental in helping Australia win the subsequent T20 World Cup.
