Let us tell you that after leaving the Test captaincy of Virat Kohli, BCCI has not yet announced the new Test captain. BCCI is not getting any option for the new Test captain.

This player does not deserve to be a Test captain at all

After Virat Kohli suddenly left the captaincy of the Test team, BCCI is immersed in the thought of who should be made the new captain of the Test. Star batsman KL Rahul is being considered as a big contender to become the new Test captain. But according to Ricky Ponting, KL Rahul does not deserve to be the Test captain of Team India at all. Ricky Ponting about KL Rahul said that I have heard about him that he is a great batsman, but he is still new.
