Legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar has asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to groom KL Rahul to be India's next captain.Gavaskar wants to appoint KL Rahul as T20 vice-captain for India, with Rohit Sharma appointed as captain after Virat Kohli decided to leave the captaincy after the T20 World Cup.“It's a good thing that the BCCI is looking ahead. It's important to think ahead,” said Sunil Gavaskar“If India are looking to groom a new captain, then KL Rahul can be looked at. He has performed well. Even now in England, his batting was very good. He has been performing well in IPL and 50-overs cricket as well at the international stage. He can be made vice-captain,” said Gavaskar.Gavaskar praised Karnataka's batsman for his quality of leadership shown in the IPL. Rahul is the captain of Punjab Kings in the IPL.Also Read- Virat Kohli to step down as India T20 captain after World Cup“He has shown very impressive leadership qualities in the IPL. He hasn’t let the burden of captaincy affect his batting. His name can be taken into consideration,” said Gavaskar.The 34-year-old Rohit is Kohli's deputy in the white ball formats and is likely to take the lead role when India meets New Zealand in a home series in November that will feature three T20 Internationals along with two Test matches.Current head coach Ravi Shastri and the tenure of the support staff are coming to an end with the T20 World Cup and as things stand, there are indications that they won't seek an extension.“There is a CAC that will make the decision. If you want to think about the new coach, then you can’t keep talking to the captain. Yes, there needs to be an understanding between the captain and the coach. But you can’t ask a student who his principal or professor can be,” said Gavaskar.Also Read- ICC mens T20I rankings: Indian captain Virat Kohli moves to No 4, KL Rahul retains sixth spot
With the recent retirement of Indian master Sachin Tendulkar, there have been a lot of talks, especially in India where cricket is considered a religion, about how the "god of cricket" left the game and cricket will never return to normal. . For some, this may be true. But sport is more than anything else. We had legends before and we will have legends in the future. While not many people come close to the "god of cricket" sign, here are some choices that might be a nice nod to this label.1. Why Sachin Tendulkar | God of Cricket in IndiaThe name says it all. If you try to list the records of this talent, you will spend the next five minutes trying to keep track of how many records and achievements this man has. Playing international cricket for over two decades, playing 200 Tests, and winning everything there is to win in every form of the game. He scored a hundred centuries in international cricket and the list could go on and on. He is arguably the greatest player India has ever seen, the greatest cricketer of all time, the greatest batsman ever, and one of the greatest in the world. People literally adore him as the 'god of Cricket' and he deserves all the praise he gets.Cricket is considered a religion in India and Sachin is considered the god of cricket in India. There is no better statement to justify Sachin Tendulkar's stance than India. Born on the 24th of April 1973 he is a great example of hard work and determination and thus a role model for most of the cricketers who play or dream of having the chance to play in the cricket team. from India. Sachin is considered one of the best and most distinguished players who ever played cricket.Born into a middle-class family, he rose to fame when he played Vinod Cambly in their school tournaments and they formed a record label. This association completely changed Sachin's life and made him famous in a span of two weeks. This fame caught the attention of the Indian selectors and paved the way for his selection to the Indian team for the Pakistan Tour at the age of sixteen. The Pakistani bowling attack was famous for its swinging and fast guards. Sachin had many difficulties against the Pakistani fast shooters but managed to score some kicks. After that, he never looked back and represented India both nationally and internationally for nearly twenty-four years. He was a part of the squad when the Indian team won the World Cup in 2011. He became the top scorer in international cricket and scored a hundred international century. Sachin Tendulkar is the first batsman in cricket history to score a double century in One Day International (ODI), and he holds the record for most runs in both Test and ODI cricket. Also, Sachin Tendulkar is the only player to have completed more than 30,000 rounds of international cricket.2- Don Bradman |God of Cricket in Australia Sir Donald George Bradman: 52 Tests, 6,996 runs, 29 centuries with an impressive average of 99.94. Combined with these amazing stats, he would become a hero to legions of people in his country during the Great Depression of the 1920s. In a game previously set by English players, Australian Bradman redefined art and meaning. He united the country and brought smiles to the faces of those who needed him. He was arguably the best hitter in the game, but he was definitely a god of cricket in every respect.3. Why Sunil Gavaskar | God of Cricket in IndiaBefore Sachin Tendulkar reached the international stage, Sunil Gavaskar was equal to our young children, equal in standing and equal in class. It wasn't hard to write off any player in the history of the game like Sunil Gavaskar. His power of concentration is that of a Buddhist monk in a state of meditation. For me, I can't believe there has been a batsman with a higher level of focus in the history of cricket. When he was hitting, I felt like someone was sitting here meditating instead of playing cricket. He was arguably the greatest defensive hitter of all time and perhaps the greatest hitter of his era.4. Why Lara Brin | God of Cricket in West IndiesKnown for his exceptional guillotine rear lift and outstanding agility in his impeccable striking stance, Lara was not only a prolific player, but a pleasure to watch. Lara was obsessed with the Mavericks, and she knew her game the way James Bond knows women. Her exceptional rebound allowed her to hit the ball at top speed, but she had the clever touch of a French painter who admired her. Scoring 400 points beating his previous record for highest Test score in innings, and keeping the record for singles' highest score in first-class cricket is a sign of all-time greats. It is out there with the best to play the game and definitely deserves to be called God of Cricket.5. Why Shane Warne | God of Cricket in AustraliaShane Warren was that bright, glowing fat man from Melbourne, Australia who could easily tear apart an opponent with his magical delivery, while leaving fans confused as to whether they should love him or hate him. He had that Aussie trait of ruthless aggression along with chivalry and bowling charm. Some say Muttiah Muralitharan was the best spinner, something that can be contested. But having a small gate on a Continental turntable on the Continental courses is one thing, but matching up with the Australian dollar is something entirely new. Not far from Sri Lankans, but personally, in terms of spin, Shane Warren was undoubtedly a god of cricket in Australia.Also, Read - God of IPL
