Mumbai: Former Indian player Wasim Jaffer believes that Ajinkya Rahane can become the captain of the Indian Test team following Rohit Sharma. Jaffer made this statement amid concerns that Rohit Sharma would be able to lead till the final of the new Test Championship. But Jaffer also clarified that Rahane needs to be consistent.

“Rahan needs to bat consistently. Although he has played 90 Tests for India, form has been an issue for him. Rahane needs to get out of his out-of-form state. Because he can be the best hero following Rohit Sharma. If he continues to find runs, the rest will come his way’ – Wasim Jaffer said. Jaffer added that Rahana should have been made the captain when Border won the Gavaskar Trophy 2-1 once morest Australia in 2021.

Meanwhile, India is in a two-Test series once morest the West Indies. After the complete victory in the first test, the second test is also in the hands of India. This is the first series following losing to Australia in the World Test Championship final and the start of a new Test Championship. There were earlier reports that Rohit’s future will be decided with the West Indies series. But Rohit averted the danger by winning the first Test brilliantly. At that time, it is not certain whether India will get Rohit’s services till the final of the new Test Championship.

The player may return from active cricket with the ODI World Cup this year. In view of this situation, India is looking for a new captain. Meanwhile, Rahane has not been able to find his rhythm in the series once morest West Indies. The player returned quickly in the first Test and in the first innings of the second match.
