NEW DELHI: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik shared his thoughts on the possibility of Jasprit Bumrah becoming the captain of the Indian national cricket team. There had been discussions about making Bumrah the captain following Rohit Sharma's retirement from the T20 format after India's victorious T20 World Cup campaign. However, the T20I captaincy was ultimately handed to Suryakumar Yadav, a teammate of Bumrah from the Mumbai Indians.
Speaking on Cricbuzz, Karthik responded to a fan's question about Bumrah's potential as India captain. He highlighted the importance of maintaining Bumrah's fitness for crucial matches and cautioned that taking on the additional responsibility of captaincy could increase the risk of injury for the pace spearhead.
