Ajinkya Rahane can become the captain of the team in the first test match against New Zealand

Team India: The BCCI can announce the Indian team for the two-match Test series to be played against New Zealand from November 25 on Friday. The first test match will be played in Kanpur from November 25, while the second match will be held in Mumbai. Team India’s regular captain Virat Kohli will not play in this match. In such a situation, Ajinkya Rahane can be given the captaincy of the team. If sources are to be believed, it is almost decided to become the captain of Rahane for this match. Soon it can be officially announced by the BCCI.

The selectors have made up their mind that Rahane will be selected as the captain. Actually Virat Kohli will not play in Kanpur Test match, he has taken rest from this match. This is the reason why the discussion about captaincy is going on. Although Rohit Sharma was also running in the captaincy race in the first match, but Rahane will probably be given a chance because before going to Australia without 7/8 players of the first team, he had given the team a historic victory.

The way he led the team to victory during the crisis in Australia, the selectors are making up their mind to hand over the captaincy to Rahane. It is also believed that coach Rahul Dravid also likes Rahane very much, so Rahane can be given the responsibility of captaincy in the absence of Virat in the first match of the Test series. However, from the second test match in Mumbai, Virat will again be seen captaining the team.
