5 players who can captain India after Virat Kohli

#2 KL Rahul

Rahul comes across as an intelligent cricketer and can be a candidate for captaincy

KL Rahul has not been able to secure his place in the Indian team in all formats of the game yet, but he is being tipped as the next big thing in Indian cricket and rightly so as he possesses enormous potential with the bat. While his technique is sound enough to let him succeed at the Test level, he has got the flair and flamboyance needed for white ball cricket as well.

It’s almost certain that sooner or later, Rahul will be a regular member of the side in all formats and once it happens, he will be a candidate for captaincy too as he comes across as a very intelligent cricketer. If the selectors opt for a long-term option, they might prefer Rahul over Rohit as he is much younger.
