Bumrah’ captaincy was praised in one match played against Ireland. It seems that Bumrah is being appointed as the vice-captain in place of Hardik Pandya for the Asia Cup and World Cup series.
Controversy started again for the post of vice captain of the Indian team. KL Rahul was sacked as vice-captain after the Test series against Bangladesh. After this, Hardik Pandya, who was serving as the captain of the Indian T20 team, was appointed as the vice-captain for the ODI matches.
Hardik Pandya is leading the Indian team in the absence of Rohit Sharma. Recently, Hardik Pandya captained the ODI and T20 series against West Indies. At this stage, Bumrah was appointed as the captain for the T20 series against Ireland.
Bumrah also performed brilliantly as captain in the first T20 against Ireland. He said that despite the success, there are some problems in the team and they should focus on them. Bumrah seems to be the right captain after Hardik Pandya.
Besides, Bumrah acted as the vice-captain of the Test team. He has already captained the team against England. Similarly, Bumrah can easily control players including Virat Kohli. But Virat Kohli never played in ODIs under the leadership of Hardik Pandya.
Due to this, Hardik Pandya is facing setbacks in controlling the senior players. Hardik Pandya is also not in great form with the bat. Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian team for the resulting Asia Cup and World Cup series. Many fans are supporting BCCI’s decision.
