Especially, we cannot forget Rahane as he had done wonders for India in tests Whenever he was asked to take leadership.

According to the PTI news agency, they told that,

“The two slots that Rahane and Pujara had now belong to KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. Also, Gill will bat in the middle order and Yashashvi will get a long rope.”

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has also shocked by the decision and told PTI after the Test squad for the Caribbean tour was announced.

“I won’t say it’s a step backward. You have been out for 18 months, then you play a Test and you become a vice-captain. I don’t understand the thought process behind it. There is Ravindra Jadeja, who has been there for a long time and a certainty in Test matches, he is a candidate.”
