New Delhi: Vice-Capanesey is a curse in Indian cricket.In recent times, Hardik Pandya is the one who has felt the brunt of being a successor. The Hardik T20 World Cup final game-changer, nominated Vice-Captain, Captain-in-Whats, were named as a powerless foot-crank in the new unit of Suryakumar Yadav in T20I.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe now!In Test cricket, as R Ashwin mentioned on his Hindi YouTube channel “Ash Ki Baat”, taking a step with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, is a big void in the leadership.Earlier this month, Timesofindia.com reported that the India Mains Senior Selection Committee, led by Ajit Agkar, is ready to choose Shubman Gill as the next Test captain of India, and his first challenge will be the upcoming five-Match Test series in England, which will begin on 20 June.However, Timesofindia.com has learned that the selection committee, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and BCCI Sink, with whom they will appoint as deputy of Shubman.The names that have been thrown into the mixture are Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant.

Interestingly, Bumrah was considered to be the next in queue to handle mental from Rohit Sharma. He was the vice-captain during the December-January tour of Australia and even led to Rohit’s absence in Perth and Sydney. But his recurring back injury and tilt of focusing on their charge have spent them working.KL Rahul, who was once informally postponed as a man, has gone below the ladder. KL Rahul led India in three Tests with two wins and one defeat. But at the age of 33, not with age, will he be a suitable man for a job?

In an ideal world, Rishabh Pant, in 43 tests played for India, is a generational testing talent and should be the next captain of India in the red ball format. He has won a single level matches for India. He can turn the tide in a session or two in Test cricket. With Jaspreet Bumrah, Pant is probably one of the handfuls of the match-match-matching left in the Indian Test team.Although the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a small sample to judge Captaincy, and there is a separate format, both Rahul and Pant have fought as skipers for various franchises. KL Rahul has come in itself for Delhi’s capitals, where he is no longer captaining, and at the same time, the pants are having a sad time with the bat and as the captain for the Lucknow Super Veterans (LSG).

Amidst all this debate, a name that is ignored is Shreyas Iyer.The 30 -year -old depicted in 14 Tests, which was last played against England in February 2024. His Test career probably stopped very soon. He could have been a leader in that team and could talk about zero R Ashwin.The promotion of rumors for Gill’s captaincy is not sitting well with former cricketers. Former India openers Krishnamkhari Srikanth and Wasim Jaffer have questioned their credibility and expressed doubt whether it is a certainty in India’s Test XI.But those who are monitoring the developments believe that the captaincy debate has been resolved, and Gill will go out for the toss in the leads wearing the captain’s blazer.

But then, who will be his deputy?While the vice-captains are officially the second-in-command, the role does not assure a spontaneous transition to the captaincy. Instead, Vice-Capanesey often serves as a symbolic title without a clear passage for leadership, offering limited authority and no guaranteed succession.In Indian cricket, this music is playing chairs. The choice of Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah, in the last decade, has come close to sealing its place on top, but even lost its places in the game.Over the years, Vice-Capanesey has been a fancy designation in Indian cricket. They play waiting games, where waiting is really endless.It will be interesting to see if the next vice-captains of India’s Test team will be able to deer this trend and the curse coming with it.
