Virat Kohli’s stint as T20I captain came to an end following India’s exit from the T20 World Cup 2021. It was a disappointing finish as the Men in Blue crashed out of the ICC event following the Super 12 round.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kaneria gave his opinion on the likely candidates for India’s T20 captaincy roles. The 40-year-old said:
Rohit has been the vice-captain of the India’s limited-overs teams for a few years now and is the most likely candidate to take over the leadership role in T20Is.
Good time for India to rebuild and start preparing for next T20 World Cup” - Danish Kaneria
Apart from the end of Kohli’s reign as T20I captain, the T20 World Cup was also the last for Ravi Shastri as head coach. Admitting that the ICC event in the UAE did not go according to plans for India, he asserted that it is the right time for them to bring in youngsters and start building for the next T20 World Cup.
India will have a new coach in Rahul Dravid starting from the New Zealand series. Speaking about the future of Indian cricket, the former leggie stated:
Kaneria further suggested that BCCI can try out some players who succeeded in IPL 2021. He added:
India’s home series against New Zealand will begin with the first of three T20Is on November 17. The Kiwis’ tour of India will also comprise two Tests.
