“ For a series, Bumrah is OK.But as a long-term option, you need to ask if India will play 10 tests in a year, will be able to play all these games? Or how many games can you play? This is an important factor in choosing a captain. So I think it was the right decision, because they felt they could not put this pressure and burden on Bumrah. Gill is the third best.

Pant has probably been baptizing India's most shocking tests for the last half decade. However, like Gill, Pant has led India in just five T20is against South -Africa in 2022.
