India captain Rohit Sharma said on Wednesday that KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rishabh Pant are seen as leaders within the team. Rohit Sharma was appointed as the Test captain last week. The Chairman of the Selection Committee, Chetan Sharma, stated that the management is looking to Rohit to train future leaders and that the right-handed batter is a perfect contender to lead the team. "I won't have much of a role in telling them everything; they're all grown enough; yet, if someone has to be around them to guide them, I'll be more than delighted to do so."

It's because we were nurtured by someone else as we rose through the ranks. During a virtual press conference, Rohit added, "It's a natural process that everyone goes through."

"When it comes to Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Pant, they all have a significant part to play in India's success, and they are also regarded as leaders." They realise they have a responsibility, but we don't want to put them under any unnecessary stress because they are so important to us. He went on to say, "All we want them to do is have fun with the game and execute the skills."

Rohit responded to a question concerning task management by saying: "I have a pretty clear idea of how I want to proceed with it. Managing the burden, not just for me, but for everyone, would obviously be the key. We've had a lot of injuries in our squad; all we have to do now is be cautious about what we do with individuals, how we rotate them, and how we rest them. We're attempting to handle this and develop a strategy for moving forward."

"There are no problems in my opinion, and I am looking forward to playing all of the games. The workload is determined by what happens next; you take each day as it comes. You take a rest if the opportunity arises. It appears to be fine at the time "he continued.

The Indian men's squad has a new Test skipper in Rohit Sharma, while stalwarts Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have been dropped from the Sri Lanka series.
