5 potential captains for India's second string squad at the ICC Champions Trophy 2017

#1 Gautam Gambhir

This 35-year-old is the captain India never had and it’s a shame that he was not given the opportunity to captain the side apart from once against New Zealand in 2010 when India won 5-0.

He has proved to be one of the best captains in the IPL as well and has lifted the title twice with Kolkata Knight Riders. Under Gautam Gambhir’s leadership this year, KKR have looked an extremely solid unit and with the way they are going, they could be well on their way to achieving their third IPL title.

He has been in sublime form with the bat as well and is currently the second highest run scorer in the IPL this year. He deserves to be included in the side for the Champions Trophy and is the most likely candidate to captain a second string side.
