Dhawan has been counted as the 8th captain of the Indian team in the year 2020.
Before him from the start KL Rahul led the team in the one-day series against South Africa then Rohit Sharma has come into the picture for Sri Lanka and West Indies series after that Rishabh pant played a helm role for the young Indian team in the T20 series against the proteas. Then Hardik Pandya was made the Skipper against the Ireland T20 series in between Dinesh Karthik also led the team in a practice match against England.
Finally, Jasprit Bumrah captained the team as the 7th leader just before Shikhar’s name was announced for the West Indies series. Many experts have been releasing questions about the rest of the key players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and the template of a permanent Skipper is also going out of the box from the minds of people combating the think tank of Indian cricket.
