Not Bumrah Or Gill! Ashwin Tips This CSK Star As India's Test Captaincy Candidate
- Ravichandran Ashwin proposed Ravindra Jadeja as a strong candidate for India's Test captaincy amid a leadership vacuum in May 2025.
- This suggestion follows retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and concerns about Jasprit Bumrah's fitness and captaincy workload.
- Jadeja, 36, has 13 years of Test experience with 80 matches, 3,370 runs, 323 wickets, and brief IPL captaincy, but no prior India captaincy.
- Ashwin highlighted Jadeja's extensive experience within the team and proposed that Gill could learn under Jadeja's mentorship for a period of two years before taking on greater leadership responsibilities.
- The BCCI is expected to soon announce the next Test captain, possibly using Jadeja’s experience to groom Gill as a future leader.
