Team India has seen many changes in captaincy in all three formats since 2022. The management is experimenting with multiple players to test leadership skills. We have seen players like KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, and Shikhar Dhawan being used as captains in many different series. India is currently on a tour of Ireland and the team is being captained by Jasprit Bumrah. It’s a proud moment for every player of India to be the Indian cricket captain.
We are seeing this because it is not possible to stick to one captain for a long time. Nowadays players play a lot of cricket and due to this some of them also get injured. It is important to maintain balance here, so nowadays many teams use different captains for all three formats. This change started when Virat Kohli stepped out from the captaincy in January 2022 when India lost a test series against South Africa by 2-1. Rohit Sharma then officially becomes the captain of India in all three formats.
Indian Cricket Captain: Seven Captain so far from 2022 to 2023
In Indian Cricket After Kohli Stepped out KL Rahul took the lead, but it didn’t last long as he picked up an injury. Rishabh Pant then took the lead but again he had a car accident. It was a sad moment for the entire cricket world, but thankfully Rishabh Pant survived and is recovering. He led India against South Africa for 5 T20I games where the series ended in a draw 2-2. Team India tried Shikhar Dhawan for an ODI series against West Indies in 2022 where he succeeds. Team India won the series under Shikhar’s captaincy by 1-0.
After that Indian team handed over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya against Ireland in 2022 where he did well. Hardik Pandya is the favorite to be the captain of the side since he led Gujrat Titans to victory. He recently led India against West Indies in 2023 where India won the ODI series by 2-1 but lost the T20 series by 3-2. Now India is on Ireland tour for 3 T20I series and Jasprit Bumrah is leading the side. He was injured and was out of the team for the last year. He joined the side as the captain and India started the series with a win in the first match.
Conclusion

Asia Cup 2023 is going to start at the end of August and after that World Cup 2023 will start in October. That is why some senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are on rest. Team management is giving opportunities to youngsters so that they can build a strong team for the future. Rohit Sharma will captain the team in both Asia Cup and World Cup. Being an Indian cricket captain is not as easy as it seems. It tests your ability to perform both as an individual player and captain.
Being a captain is a big responsibility because a captain needs to think about strategies, motivate teammates, and make quick decisions during matches. Each captain has brought their unique style and ideas to the team. It is hard to guess who will lead India in the future but it’s good to see as a fan that team India has many talented players like Hardik, and Bumrah who could lead the Indian team in the future.
