BCCI has officially announced Jasprit Bumrah as the captain of the Indian team for a one-off Test against England while Rishabh Pant will be in role of vice-captaincy. Regular skipper Rohit Sharma has been officially ruled out of the Test as he was tested Covid positive a couple of days back.

Ahead of the one-off Test against England, Indian team had suffered a blow recently as Rohit Sharma tested positive. With the possibility of him being ruled out there was a discussion over his replacement as a captain. Several media reports had surfaced which revealed that Jasprit Bumrah was going to lead the team as Rohit will be unavailable. However, Rahul Dravid put across a contradictory view as he stated that the regular skipper is still not ruled out from the game.
