Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has named three players who could become Team India captains in the future. Currently, Virat Kohli is the captain of Team India in all three formats and he is playing this role in the best possible way. Salman Butt said Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant could go on to become India’s hero. Butt gave this answer to a fan’s question.
In a video that Salman Butt uploaded to his YouTube channel, he said, “I don’t know the depth of Pant’s domestic cricket record. He is not going anywhere for the next 8-9 years. ”Notably, Pant was given the captaincy after Shreyas Iyer was sacked from IPL 2021 due to injury. The Delhi Capitals-led pant had done well before IPL 14 was kicked off. The team that won 6 of the 8 matches topped the point table.

Salman Butt praised Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit-led Mumbai Indians have won the IPL five times. But the bunt about Rohit, along with Pant, is that Rohit Sharma is also a good hero. As a leader, I like him very much. Strategically, he is a much better leader. Salman Butt was also impressed with Ajinkya Rahane, the vice-captain of the Indian team. After losing the first Test on the tour of Australia, Kohli replaced Rahane. In the absence of many star players in the four-match series, India won the series 2–1.
India recently won a Test series in Australia, but Rahane has taken over as captain, Butt said. He did an excellent job in Australia. The 36-year-old Butt ended his speech by saying that India did not have to worry in the next few days. They have many options for India whenever they need it. Butt said let’s see who comes forward and what the situation is. This is no longer a matter of debate for Indian cricket. They have 3-4 people anyway.
