5 players who can replace Anup Kumar as India captain

#1 Ajay Thakur

Ajay Thakur

Ajay Thakur will ideally be the senior-most player in the young side and might be given the captain's band by the coaches given his ability, skills and reputation. Quite cool and calm, Ajay's knack for thriving in pressure situations has been evident throughout the course of the domestic league as well as during the World Cup last year.

In the otherwise fast-paced game, he can keep things cool and poised to implement strategies in situations where players get carried away or get aggressive and is thus one the best fits for the role.
