In-form batsman, Ajinkya Rahane,
and experienced off-spinner,
Ravichandran Ashwin, are said to be
in contention for the vacant vice-
captain post in the Indian Test team.
MS Dhoni's sudden retirement from
the longest form of the game has
given rise to a debate on who would
take over as Virat Kohli's deputy.
"It will be interesting to see the
choice of selection committee led by
Sandeep Patil and the feedback they
get from Team Director, Ravi Shastri.
Ravi's point of view will be key in this
regard. As of now, the two players
who are in with a chance are Rahane
and Ashwin," a Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) source was
quoted as saying.
According to sources, Rahane, who is
now a permanent fixture across all
formats, looks to be the front-runner
but Ashwin, by virtue of his seniority
cannot be ruled out either. "What
works for Rahane is his calm
demeanour which could possibly
compliment Kohli's aggressive intent.
They could prove to be the ideal foil
for each other. Also, Rahane has the
performance to merit that place
(1026 runs in 13 Tests with 3
centuries)," the official said.
