10 cricketers who could be future World Cup Captains

Karun Nair (India)

With the Indian Premier League prospering with each coming year, Indian cricket has seen rise to numerous upcoming stars. Nair is one of the many.Having made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2016, reward for his consistency in domestic cricket, he's been in and out of the National team for a while now.

His consistency lead to him being named captain for Karnataka, and has excelled ever since. Similarly, during IPL 10, he captained the Delhi Daredevils for a few matches. Captaining a side in such a lucrative tournament with world class players from around the world, speaks for itself.

In November 2016, he was given his first Test cap in the Mohali Test against England. In his third Test, he became India's second triple-centurion after Virender Sehwag, and only the third man in the game's history to convert a maiden Test ton into a triple.

However, Karun hasn't been able to remain consistent - so with a little more persistence, no doubt he'll be a rock- solid candidate for the prized role.
